You would actually want to discuss the document with a lawyer (AI), for instance asking if not paying the 100k in point 3.4.7a is enough for termination of the contract, show the reasons (copied from the doc and explained) and if yes, are there any clauses that invalidate that clause or any logical inconsistencies regarding that clause etc.

As someone (no legal background) who has to read legal documents sometimes (perks of being a founder cough) and would take advice (yet) from an AI over a lawyer; the above would give me enough of an idea how exposed we are or not and if a lawyer should be contacted. I can read legalise quite well (perks of having been a founder for 35 years), but if its 100s of pages, I need to be able to ask questions about the doc to get an idea of where I stand. Which is why I would hire a lawyer to do a review after I send them my questions anyway.
