Reading long business documents faster
Getting a usable read on a contract, a board pack or a vendor proposal, and what to check before acting on it.
The situation
A ninety-page vendor agreement, a meeting in an hour, and the clause that matters is somewhere in the schedules at the back.
What people use it for
- Get a plain-language read on a contract before it reaches legal
- Find what a document is missing compared with a normal agreement of its type
- Turn a board pack into the three decisions it actually asks for
- Compare vendor proposals on the dimensions you care about
Worth knowing first
It does not know what is enforceable where you are, or what is standard in your market. Use it to arrive at your lawyer prepared, not to replace the conversation.
