Example Output
Example 1: Risk Summary
CONTRACT ANALYSIS: Annual Services Agreement
RISK SCORE: 7.2/10 (Moderate-High Risk)
DEAL-BREAKERS:
- Unlimited liability cap (recommend <2x annual contract value)
- 90-day payment terms (industry standard: 30 days)
- Auto-renewal with 180-day termination notice
KEY TERMS:
- Annual Spend: $250,000
- Payment: Net 90 (UNFAVORABLE)
- Termination: 180 days notice after auto-renewal
- Liability Cap: Unlimited (HIGH RISK)
NEGOTIATION PRIORITIES:
1. Cap liability at 2x annual value (~$500K)
2. Reduce payment terms: 90 → 30 days (cash flow impact: +$167K)
3. Add termination for convenience with 30-day notice
Example 2: Clause Analysis & Redline
PROBLEMATIC CLAUSE: Indemnification (Section 4.2)
CURRENT: "Supplier indemnifies Buyer for all claims arising from Supplier's services, including third-party IP claims, without limitation."
RISK: Unlimited liability; supplier covers customer's own negligence
RECOMMENDED REDLINE:
"Supplier indemnifies Buyer for third-party claims arising solely from Supplier's gross negligence or willful misconduct, capped at annual contract value."
IMPACT: Limits exposure to ~$250K; shifts risk appropriately
Example 3: Negotiation Strategy
GOAL: Reduce Payment Terms from Net 90 → Net 30
LEVERAGE POINTS:
✓ New customer (volume opportunity for vendor)
✓ Cash flow impact (quantify: $167K tied up)
✓ Market standard: Net 30-45 days for this service
NEGOTIATION APPROACH:
1. Strong Ask: "We commit to 5-year deal if you move to Net 30"
2. Moderate: "Net 30 is standard; offer 2% early-pay discount at Net 15"
3. Fallback: Accept Net 45 if vendor holds firm
