The clauses that look harmless on the page and ruin you in a dispute.
Auto-renewals, uncapped indemnities, one-sided termination, hidden arbitration — each with the exact language to watch for, the real cost, and the redline to ask for.
Three ready-to-use NDAs plus a clause-by-clause guide to fill them in.

Copy-paste prompts that turn any contract into plain English — and surface what to negotiate.
Fifty prompts across understand, find-the-risk, compare, negotiate, and specialized-document sections — engineered to make any AI assistant quote clauses, score risk, and draft your redline.
