ContractScan: AI Clause Risk Flagging
Automatically scans legal contracts for high-risk clauses and non-standard terms that could expose small businesses to liability, flagging them in plain English before signing.
The Problem
Small business owners and freelancers often sign contracts without legal review due to cost ($500-2000 per contract), but miss dangerous clauses like unlimited liability, unfavorable jurisdiction, or IP ownership traps that come back to haunt them.
Target Audience
Solopreneurs, freelancers, small agencies (under 50 people), and startup founders who sign vendor contracts, client agreements, and service terms but can't afford legal review on every document.
Why Now?
Claude and GPT-4 can now reliably extract and classify legal risk; affordable APIs make this viable for solo builders, and post-pandemic contract volume exploded as remote work normalized.
What's Missing
Existing legal tech is enterprise-focused and expensive ($5k+/year); general contract tools focus on templates/e-signature, not actual risk detection for already-written contracts.
