Plain-English contract review

The 5 clauses in any contract a small business should never sign blind.

What you need: The contract text itself (paste it, attach the PDF, or drop in the document) plus four context details: what state or country you operate in, the total dollar value of the contract over its full term, your leverage situation (did they come to you, or did you come to them), and any industry-specific concerns you already know about (regulated data, IP you can't give up, exclusivity you can't survive).

How to use: Paste this prompt into a fresh AI chat, then paste or attach the contract you want reviewed. The AI runs a 5-question intake (state, total value, who initiated, deal type, must-keeps), then produces a clause-by-clause table for the 5 universally-highest-risk surfaces — indemnification, IP and data ownership (with 2026 AI-training carve-out checks), termination rights, exclusivity scope, governing law and venue. Each row shows what the contract literally says, what that means for you in plain English, what's industry-standard, whether it's a red flag, and the suggested edit. The output ends with a committed verdict (sign / negotiate / walk), three questions to send the counterparty today, and a one-sentence disclaimer with the dollar thresholds and deal types where a licensed attorney in your state is non-negotiable.
