## The situation

A contract has 20 pages. You only want to know: How long does it run? What does it cost? How can I cancel?

## How it works

1. You paste the contract text.
2. **The Schleuse replaces secrets.** Names, addresses, identifiers and credentials are replaced with stand-in words. This happens on your side, not in the cloud. Amounts and dates stay as they are.
3. **The AI answers, the Schleuse translates back.** The answer contains the stand-in words. On your side they turn back into the real names.

## Example

**Your question to the AI:** Summarise this contract in plain words. Give the term, the costs and the notice period.

**What is in your text:**

> Contract between **Stadtwerke Beispielburg GmbH** and **Hof Lindenberg KG**.
> Term until 31 December 2028.
> Notice period: 3 months.

**What the cloud AI sees:**

> Contract between **Energy supplier Alpha** and **Business Beta**.
> Term until 31 December 2028.
> Notice period: 3 months.

## What you get

You get a summary of the key points. Deadlines and numbers stay in the text unchanged.

## Good to know

A summary does not replace reading. Have a person check important contracts.
