Clause checklist - what a contract is missing, and what bites
Philosophy
The most expensive clauses are the ones that are not in the contract. Reviewing a contract is not only reading what is written - it is checking that no safeguard this deal needs is absent. This skill walks the contract against a fixed list of 41 clause categories and, for each, says: present / absent / present-but-risky, quoting the clause when present.
It is extractive - what it shows comes from the contract, not from paraphrase. It flags presence and risk; the assessment and the call stay with the lawyer.
One caution built into the method: CUAD is an extraction taxonomy, not a list of safeguards every agreement must contain. Several categories are deal-specific, and some are mutually exclusive pairs (uncapped vs cap on liability; unlimited vs limited licence grants). Treating every absence as a red flag buries the real gaps in false positives.
