Key insight: Freelancers lose more money to bad contract terms than they do to scope creep, but they'd rather pay for a quick AI scan than a lawyer — the market exists, it's just been ignored by legal tech focused on enterprises.

The Problem

Freelancers and small business owners sign contracts without legal review because they can't afford $200-500/hour lawyer fees. They miss predatory clauses, unfair IP assignments, and liability traps that cost them thousands later. Existing contract tools are either basic PDF highlighters or enterprise-only legal platforms.

Target Audience

Freelancers (designers, developers, writers), small agencies, and 1099 contractors who sign 5-50 contracts/year but lack legal budgets.

Why Now?

Claude's document processing improved massively in 2024; freelancer economy is booming post-pandemic; contract disputes are increasing but legal AI tooling for individuals is still nascent.

What's Missing

Enterprise contract AI assumes high-value deals and complex workflows. No tool exists that's specifically tuned for the simple use case: 'Is this freelance agreement screwing me?' with plain-English explanations instead of legalese.
