What's in a review
Every section, in the order you'll read it.
Every buy-side review comes back in the same shape, so you always know where to look. This is the whole report, section by section.
- 01 · Executive SummaryWhat the agreement is, what you're committing to, the biggest risks and pricing concerns, the key dates, the decision, and the top three negotiation points.
- 02 · Recommended DecisionOne of five calls, from “Acceptable to sign” to “Do not sign without expert review”, with the reasoning behind it.
- 03 · Overall Risk Score0–100, banded low, moderate, high, or critical. It combines the analysis with a fixed rule table, and the rules that moved the score are listed.

- 05 · Red FlagsThe clauses that can hurt you, each with the language quoted from the document.
- 06 · Pricing AnalysisHow you're charged, what changes at renewal, and where the price can rise.

- 11 · Business Impact AnalysisWhat the terms mean for your operations and your cash, in business language.
- 12 · Questions To Ask VendorWhat to ask the vendor before you sign.

Under every section
- →Every quote is checked against the document. A claim that can't be verified is marked low confidence rather than presented as fact.
- →The dates are computed in code. The last safe day to act is 7 days before the notice deadline, leaving room for sign-off and delivery.
- →Human review on request, free on every plan. A Sidecar reviewer confirms the report or adds corrections, within one business day.
- →Attach the order form, DPA, or SOW and they are reviewed with the agreement as one analysis. Each citation says which document it came from.
