Vendor Contracts

Structured guidance for software and vendor agreements (IP, liability, SLAs—not legal advice): confirm triggers, propose the stages below, and adapt if the user wants a lighter pass.

When to Offer This Workflow

Trigger conditions:

• User mentions MSA, order form, vendor agreement, contract review, or closely related work
• They want a structured workflow rather than ad-hoc tips
• They are preparing a review, rollout, or stakeholder communication

Initial offer: Explain the four stages briefly and ask whether to follow this workflow or work freeform. If they decline, continue in their preferred style.

Workflow Stages

Stage 1: Clarify context & goals

Anchor on deal type (SaaS, support, data processing) and risk appetite. Ask what success looks like and what must not break.
