What problem does it solve? Businesses often don't know whether their proprietary information — customer lists, pricing models, source code, brand assets — is actually protected. Contractors may legally own work they created because no IP-assignment was signed, employees and vendors may access sensitive data without NDAs, and access controls may be far broader than need-to-know. This Skill finds those gaps before they become ownership disputes or trade-secret losses. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Layered Protection Audit: Systematically reviews seven layers — NDAs, IP-assignment clauses, need-to-know access controls, handbook policies, enforcement processes, departure hygiene, and registrations (trademark/copyright/patent). - Coverage Metrics & Gap Scoring: Computes NDA coverage, IP-assignment coverage, access-breadth ratio, and departure-hygiene rate, then ranks gaps by exposure (asset criticality × gap severity). - Counsel Routing, Not Legal Advice: Drafts NDA/IP-assignment templates and policy outlines strictly for attorney review, escalates suspected theft or infringement immediately, and never files registrations or makes ownership determinations. - Use Case: A founder hiring a freelance dev agency asks "are we covered?" The Skill discovers the agency would create the app's source code with no IP-assignment — meaning the agency may own the app — and flags it as a critical gap requiring a signed assignment before work starts. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to audit whether your contractors and employees have signed NDAs and IP-assignment agreements and who currently has access to your customer list and source code.
