About
We build software that proves what was agreed was done.
What QED means
Quod erat demonstrandum.
Latin for “which was to be shown”.
QED is what you write at the end of a proof: shown, done.
Why that name
We build software that proves what was agreed was done: the obligation met, with its evidence; the decision taken, with who took it and why.
CMX does it for contracts.
What we stand for
Proven rules decide.
A rule you can read decides each outcome, not a model’s opinion.
In CMX, a due date comes from the contract’s own dates and your business days. A risk level is a fixed calculation from your playbook, the position you accept on each kind of clause. A dashboard number counts only what you can open, and opens the list it counts.
AI proposes, your people decide.
AI reads and suggests; a named person confirms; every suggestion points to its source.
In CMX, every value the AI proposes points to its page and words. Dates, amounts and parties are confirmed by your people, and nothing a model finds counts until someone does. A correction teaches the next extraction for that counterparty and contract type, in your workspace only.
What’s agreed is kept and shown.
Every record carries its evidence, its audit trail and who did what.
In CMX, an obligation whose type needs evidence can’t be closed without it, and a second person verifies it. Every change is recorded, with who made it, and can’t be edited. A contract signed in CMX carries its signing evidence on the executed PDF.
Who we are
QED Works is a software company with more than twenty years of experience behind it. We have spent those years delivering document, workflow, contract and accounts payable systems to banks, insurers, retailers, manufacturers and government. CMX is what that work taught us: a contract only matters if what it says gets done, and you can show it.
