SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Clause-by-clause contract review only catches bad clauses — it cannot flag protections that are missing entirely, like an absent limitation of liability or a missing breach-notification deadline. This Skill walks type-specific checklists to surface every expected protection the document omits. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gap Checklists by Contract Type: Dedicated checklists for NDAs, services agreements/MSAs, data processing agreements, and employment agreements, each item explaining the risk and the suggested request. - Whole-Document Search Method: Searches schedules, definitions, and annexes before declaring a protection missing, distinguishing true gaps from partial coverage that belongs in clause-level review. - Structured Gap Report: Outputs a table with status (missing or partial), contract-specific rationale, and a one-line ask for the counterparty, ordered by consequence to the represented party. - Use Case: After reviewing an MSA clause by clause, run this checklist to discover the contract has no limitation of liability, no consequential-damages waiver, and no IP ownership clause — then draft the negotiation requests. ## Quick Start Review this services agreement and tell me what protections are missing that should be present.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find what is missing from a contract review?

Run a gap checklist matched to the contract type after the clause-level review. For each expected protection, search the whole document including schedules and annexes, and report it as missing only when no provision anywhere covers it.

What clauses should an NDA always contain?

An NDA should include return or destruction of confidential information, a defined term and survival period, standard exclusions, a compelled-disclosure procedure, a no-license clause, and an equitable-relief acknowledgment. Absence of any of these is a reportable gap.

What is the difference between a missing clause and a weak clause?

A missing clause has no provision anywhere in the document and is reported as a gap. A weak clause partially covers the protection and belongs in clause-level review, cited by section rather than flagged as absent.

Does this checklist apply across all jurisdictions?

The checklists are commercial-market reference points, not legal standards. What is expected varies by jurisdiction, deal size, and bargaining position, so findings that depend on governing law are marked as jurisdiction-dependent.

What protections should a data processing agreement include?

A DPA should include a breach-notification deadline, processing-instructions limitation, subprocessor controls, security measures, an international-transfer mechanism, audit rights, data-subject-request assistance, deletion on termination, and personnel confidentiality.
