- 02 · Analyse
Every clause, read and ranked.
Our model extracts every economic and control clause — liquidation preferences, anti-dilution, board composition, drag-along, vesting, MAC clauses, covenants — and compares each one against our open database of 30+ equity red flags and 11 debt red flags.
The library is reviewed by qualified counsel and built from real founder reports across 200+ deals.
- 03 · Score
A single number you can act on.
The Founder Fairness Score combines every flagged clause into one score from 0 to 100, with sub-scores for equity terms and debt terms. Above 80 is founder-friendly. Below 40 means walk away or renegotiate hard.
SEE THE FULL RUBRIC → - 04 · Flag
Each flag, explained in plain English.
Every flag includes what it means, why it matters in dollar terms, how often it appears in real deals, and exactly how to push back.
- 05 · Negotiate
Walk in with exact language.
For each flagged clause, we generate a counter-position and the actual paragraph you can paste into your reply. Tested against typical VC pushback patterns.
Not legal advice — your lawyer signs off — but you arrive at the call already knowing what to ask for and why.
- 06 · Export
A handover document for your lawyer.
Export the full analysis as a clean PDF — score, flag list, negotiation language, methodology references — and walk into your legal review meeting with a structured agenda instead of 47 pages of contract markup.
Lawyers love it. Reduces their hours, sharpens their advice.
The cost of one bad clause is more than a year of salary.
