Understanding Risk Scores
Our engine categorizes clauses into four distinct risk levels based on market standards and legal best practices:
Standard language with no major concerns. Typical for market-standard agreements.
Contains language that deviates slightly from standard terms or needs clarification.
Aggressive language that could create significant liability or unfavorable obligations.
Highly one-sided terms that are often non-standard and require immediate attention.
Using Expectations
Expectations allow you to guide the AI toward what you specifically need in a contract. For example:
"Must include mutual indemnification, 30-day notice for termination, and New York governing law."
The engine will parse your request and provide an Expectation Match Score, showing you exactly what was found and what is missing.

You can also select specific focus areas like Liability & Financial Caps or Data Privacy.
