Find the scary words before you sign

Email a contract in or upload it, and get back a marked-up report: the words you told us to watch for, answers to the questions your team always asks, and each finding in front of the person whose job it is.

Accounts are set up by invitation, so the first step is a conversation.

From a document in your inbox to a decision

• Email it in, get the report back

  Forward a contract to your own scanning address. The finished report comes back as a reply to whoever sent it — attached, or as a private download link when it is too big to attach.

• Whatever form it arrives in

  PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, and scanned paper with no text in it, which is read page by page before the review starts.

• The words you care about

  Set up the terms your business will not sign past. Every appearance is found, ranked by how much it matters, and quoted with its page.

• The questions you always ask

  Ask your standard review questions once and every document comes back answered, with the passage the answer came from or a plain "not stated in this document".

• Marked up on the real pages

  The exported PDF carries the original contract with the findings drawn over the actual words.

• Routed, assigned, approved or flagged no-go

  Findings go to the right role, get picked up by a named person, and end in an approval or a no-go flag with a record of who decided.

• Versions and shared reports

  A revision lands as a new version beside the old review, and a read-only report link can be sent to someone without an account, tied to the version that was reviewed.

• Digests and announcements

  People choose how often they hear from us, and admins can send a message to everyone or to one role, now or on a schedule.

Built for teams who read the fine print

• Construction

  Forward a subcontract or a spec from the field and get the indemnity, retainage and insurance language back before the bid goes in.

• Legal

  Run the same clause checklist over every agreement and hand the marked-up pages to whoever signs off on the exceptions.

• Real estate

  Pull the dates, options and obligations out of a lease, and share the report with a broker or client who has no account.

• Insurance

  Ask each policy the same questions about limits, exclusions and endorsements, and route the gaps to the person who can close them.
