And it’s not their fault.
The Contract Management Standard™ lists over 25 critical skills every contract manager should master—everything from risk analysis and negotiation to governance, compliance, and performance oversight .
But here’s the reality:
Most are expected to deliver all of that… armed with PDFs, buried emails, and a swamp of spreadsheets.
And the tools they do get? They're built to negotiate or sign contracts, or manage simple burn and churn contracts.
The CMS™ breaks contract management into three phases:
Most systems drop off the moment the ink dries.
That’s when contract managers are left to:
This isn’t just inefficient.
It’s compliance risk.
It’s value leakage.
And it’s not what the CMS™ envisioned.
High-value contracts—like those used in infrastructure, PPPs, defence, and giga-projects—are more than legal instruments. They’re operating systems for billion-dollar undertakings.
And post-award management isn’t admin.
It’s risk mitigation. Value capture. Obligation assurance.
If your contract managers can’t:
…your entire project is exposed.
Affinitext was purpose-built to operationalize the CMS’s post-award principles .
✅ Every obligation becomes an actionable task
✅ Every clause is linked, searchable, and up to date
✅ Every change is captured and unified—no version chaos
✅ Everyone operates from a single source of truth
Because no one should be set up to fail.
Stop flying blind.
Let’s build smarter systems for smarter contract management.
