"My designer signed an MSA last month with a 60-day pay clause and a clause assigning every sketch she made during the engagement — including ideas for her own future work — to the client. Nobody at the agency caught it. The client's lawyer wrote it. Her lawyer wasn't on the call."
— The reason Verdict exists.
PDF, Word, or paste the text. NDAs, MSAs, SAFEs, leases, sponsorship agreements — if it has clauses, Verdict reads it.
A 3–5 sentence summary at the top: what you're agreeing to, what you're getting, what you're giving up. Written like a calm partner explaining it over coffee.
Red, amber, green. Each flag points to the section, quotes the language, and tells you whether it's a hard problem, a soft problem, or fine.
Specific replacement language, ready to paste. Plus negotiation tips: what's worth pushing on, and what's a hard requirement you shouldn't waste energy on.
What the deal is, in 3–5 sentences a non-lawyer can understand on first read. No "the parties hereto" boilerplate.
Red, amber, green. Each tied to a specific clause. You'll know the three things to push back on before you finish your coffee.
For every problem clause, exact replacement language. Copy the "after," paste into the doc, send the email.
Which redlines are likely to land. Which to drop. Which to make a hard line. Saves you from burning capital on things the other side will never bend on.
Click any flag, jump to the exact paragraph in the source. Click a clause, see what Verdict said about it. The source and the analysis stay in lock-step.
Contracts are processed in memory and never stored on our servers. Your past reviews live on your device, not ours. Day one.
Verdict gives you a real first read for the cost of a coffee per contract. Not because lawyers don't matter — they do for high-stakes deals. But you don't need a lawyer for the 47 NDAs, vendor agreements, and freelance MSAs you sign every year. You need a fast, calm, accurate read.
No. Verdict is a fast first read — the kind of plain-English orientation a smart, experienced friend would give you before you sign. For high-stakes contracts (anything with seven-figure exposure, or where you're betting the company), you should bring in a licensed attorney. Verdict makes you a better-informed client when you do.
Verdict is built on Claude Sonnet 4.5, the model class generally considered most accurate on legal-document understanding as of 2025. Our review prompts are domain-tuned (we tested against hundreds of common contract templates: NDAs, MSAs, SAFEs, SaaS agreements, employment contracts, leases, sponsorship, IP licensing). For the high-impact items — payment terms, IP, indemnity, jurisdiction, termination — Verdict catches them reliably. We're transparent: if something is novel or ambiguous, Verdict will flag it as something to ask a lawyer about, rather than guess.
No. Contracts you upload are processed in memory and discarded after the report is returned. We don't keep a copy on our servers, we don't train models on your documents, and your past reviews are stored on your device (browser localStorage), not on ours. If you opt into cloud history at a paid tier, you'll see exactly what's being stored and a one-click delete.
Freelancers signing client MSAs and NDAs. Agency owners reviewing vendor SOWs. Founders staring at a SAFE or term sheet. Operators of SMBs (under ~50 employees) who sign 10–100 contracts a year and can't afford a lawyer for each one. If you have an in-house legal team, you probably don't need Verdict — but your sales and ops teams might love it for first-pass triage.
Anything with clauses: NDAs (mutual or one-way), MSAs and SOWs, SaaS agreements, freelance and consulting contracts, SAFEs and term sheets, employment offers, leases, sponsorship and partnership deals, licensing agreements, distribution agreements. We don't recommend it for criminal-law matters, complex litigation documents, or anything regulated outside the US/UK common-law tradition without spot-checking with local counsel.
On the report view, click any clause and ask Verdict to explain it. It'll tell you what the clause does, what's normal vs. unusual, and what to ask the other side. Like a calm partner, not a robot.
Generic AI can read a contract, but it doesn't compare across the 47 you signed last year, doesn't carry domain-tuned prompts on legal review, doesn't ship redline language formatted to paste, and doesn't integrate with the actual workflow of receiving and counter-signing. Verdict is a tool, not a chat. The output is a deliverable.
