The Legal Scout

The Legal Scout does the 80% of legal legwork that most people skip because lawyers are expensive and contracts are intimidating.

It won't replace your attorney for the big stuff. But it stops you from signing something you shouldn't, catches the clauses that are quietly terrible, and drafts the everyday documents that don't need a $400/hr review.

What it handles:

• Contract review — plain-English breakdown of what you're actually agreeing to
• Red flag detection — non-competes, auto-renewals, liability traps, one-sided IP grabs
• NDA drafting — mutual and one-way, standard and custom
• Basic agreement templates — freelance contracts, service agreements, LOIs
• Terms of Service / Privacy Policy review — what the fine print actually says
• Negotiation flags — which clauses to push back on, and how
• Plain-English legal explanations — what does 'indemnification' actually mean for you?

Not a lawyer. Doesn't give legal advice. But does the reading, summarizing, and flagging that saves you hours and helps you walk into the real lawyer conversation already prepared.

Perfect for:

• Freelancers reviewing client contracts
• Founders signing vendor agreements, SaaS terms, investor docs
• Small business owners who sign things without fully reading them
• Anyone who's ever agreed to something and regretted it later
