Resolutiion, a London-based startup that helps companies identify contract disputes before they escalate, has raised $10.4 million in new funding. The investment will support the company as it expands its artificial intelligence platform into defence, energy and manufacturing contracts. The round was backed by Cherry Ventures, Octopus Ventures, LocalGlobe, Auxxo, Openseed VC and Chevron Technology Ventures.
Government Experience and Market Gap
Founder Fayola-Maria Jack created Resolutiion after leading commercial transformation across the Royal Air Force’s £6 billion operations and heading the Cabinet Office’s Complex Transactions Team. She observed that by the time disputes reached legal teams, much of the recoverable value had already disappeared. The company was founded in 2022 and now employs 18 people recruited from firms such as Darktrace, Klarna, Luminance, Uber, Accenture and KPMG.
How the Platform Works
Resolutiion’s platform draws live data from signed contracts, supplier messages, emails, invoices and project trackers. Its artificial intelligence system, Octavia, runs on proprietary OctaviaCore technology and looks for behavioural patterns rather than contract clauses alone. When a supplier begins to slip on delivery dates, the system can identify the trend weeks before a formal claim is filed and coordinate next steps among all relevant parties.
Cost of Contract Failure
The company estimates that disputed contracts cause losses of between £50 million and £90 million for every £1 billion in contract value. Resolutiion argues that by the time a dispute reaches legal teams, most recoverable value has already been lost. This is why the platform focuses on continuous monitoring after contracts have been signed and work has begun.
Post-Signature Focus in Legal AI
Resolutiion is entering a legal artificial intelligence market where much of the capital has so far gone to pre-signature tools. Companies like Luminance and Robin AI have raised substantial sums for drafting, review and negotiation before contracts are signed. Resolutiion targets the period after signatures, when money is already committed and forecasting conflicts is more difficult.
Market Opportunity and New Capital
The contract management software market is projected to grow from $3.65 billion in 2026 to $9.62 billion by 2034. Resolutiion is positioning itself in the post-signature segment of this market, with defence, energy and manufacturing as the first sectors in line. The new capital will support its expansion into these areas, where missed contract terms can be far more costly than documentation errors.
Investor Backing and Valuation
The funding round did not disclose a post-money valuation or the split between new and follow-on capital. Auxxo, which backs teams with at least one female founder, participated after closing its second fund at €33.3 million earlier this month. Resolutiion has also attracted support from Openseed VC and Chevron Technology Ventures.
Building a Risk-to-Resolution Layer
Jack describes the company’s ambition as building a new category called Risk-to-Resolution for enterprise commercial relationships. Octavia aggregates hundreds of data points across delivery, contracts, communications, financials, behaviours and the external environment. The platform assesses financial exposure and recommends resolution pathways before delivery problems become major losses, claims or disputes.
With the new funding, Resolutiion plans to deepen its presence in sectors where operational failures carry severe financial consequences. The company says some of the world’s leading enterprises are already working with its platform, and it sees the post-signature phase as an underserved part of legal technology. Its long-term success will depend on whether large organisations trust artificial intelligence systems to manage actual conflicts between clients.
