Contract review
Reading Your Contract Review
An unlocked review has three layers: highlights on the contract pages, callout cards in the margin, and a findings sidebar with the full detail. They all describe the same findings — click any of them to jump between views.

Highlights mark the exact clause text; the sidebar groups findings by severity with the concern and recommendation.
Severity grades
High risk (red): terms that expose you to serious financial or legal risk — read these first. Review (amber): one-sided terms worth negotiating before you sign. Clarify (blue): ambiguous or missing terms to question. The sidebar shows counts for each grade at the top.
Highlights and callouts
Each finding quotes 5–30 words verbatim from the contract, and that exact text is highlighted on the page with a numbered callout in the margin. Click a highlight, callout, or sidebar card to select the finding everywhere at once and scroll it into view.
The finding card
Every card carries the clause category (Payment, Liquidated Damages, Liability, and so on), the page number, a plain-English concern explaining why the clause matters to you, and — when selected — an "Ask for" recommendation you can reuse in your negotiation email.
"Not pinned to text"
Occasionally a finding shows "not pinned to text": the AI's quoted wording could not be matched back to the page exactly (this can happen with unusual PDF text encoding). The finding is still valid — use the page number and the quote in the card to locate the clause manually.
Overall assessment and re-runs
The summary at the top of the sidebar gives the overall verdict from your perspective — sign, or don't sign as-is. If the other side sends back a revised contract, that is a new document and a new US$19 review; upload the revision the same way.
