Pre-Review Setup
Organizational Playbook
Before any analysis begins, look for a negotiation playbook configured in the user's local settings. A playbook codifies the organization's preferred positions, tolerable bands, and hard limits for every major provision category.
When no playbook exists:
- Propose building one collaboratively with the user
- If the user wants to proceed immediately, anchor the analysis to mainstream commercial norms as your reference point
Contextual Framing
Every review must start by establishing three things:
- Agreement category -- Determine whether this is a SaaS subscription, professional services engagement, software license, channel partnership, procurement arrangement, or another structure. The category dictates which provisions carry the most weight.
- Client posture -- Establish whether the organization sits on the buying side, selling side, licensing side, or partnership side. Protective language that benefits one party harms the other.
- Holistic reading -- Read the entire document end-to-end before marking up any single provision. Provisions operate as an interconnected system. An aggressive indemnity clause may be counterbalanced by a strong liability cap elsewhere.
