## NDA Triage

Screen NDAs with a pass/warn/fail rating system.

Checks:

* Scope of confidential information
* Duration and survival clauses
* Permitted disclosures and carve-outs
* Non-solicitation provisions
* Remedies and indemnification
* Governing law and jurisdiction

## Risk Assessment

Categorize risks using a 5x5 severity-likelihood matrix.

|                | Rare   | Unlikely | Possible | Likely  | Almost Certain |
| -------------- | ------ | -------- | -------- | ------- | -------------- |
| **Critical**   | Medium | High     | High     | Extreme | Extreme        |
| **Major**      | Low    | Medium   | High     | High    | Extreme        |
| **Moderate**   | Low    | Medium   | Medium   | High    | High           |
| **Minor**      | Low    | Low      | Medium   | Medium  | High           |
| **Negligible** | Low    | Low      | Low      | Medium  | Medium         |

Each risk maps to a specific clause with a recommended action.

## Compliance Check

Check contracts against major US and international regulatory frameworks:
