Common questions before moving ahead
What is the Private Risk Review?
The Private Risk Review is a fast, confidential review of your contract and related documents to help you decide whether to proceed — or where the deal could hurt you.
It is designed to give you clarity before you commit money, delivery, or reputation.
What types of documents can be reviewed?
We review commercial contracts and the documents that define what the contract actually means in practice, such as:
- scopes of work
- specifications
- statements of requirements
- supporting schedules or attachments
The review looks at how these documents work together, not just how each one reads on its own.
What do I receive from the Private Risk Review?
You receive a clear outcome, returned within minutes:
- Good to go, or
- A specific list of points that may expose you to cost, delay, or loss of value
The output is short, plain, and usable — something you can act on immediately.
Does this replace legal advice?
No.
We do not provide legal advice and we do not act as your solicitor.
The review focuses on commercial and interpretation risk — not enforceability or legal strategy.
Many clients use the output to decide whether legal advice is needed, and where it should be focused.
When is confidentiality in place?
You receive an NDA before you upload your documents.
The Private Risk Review establishes confidentiality first, before carrying out the review itself.
How is sensitive information handled?
The process strips personally identifiable and other sensitive information from your documents before review.
The review focuses on wording, structure, scope, and interpretation — not identities, signatures, or private data.
Is the review automated?
Yes.
An automated process conducts your Private Risk Review The architecture exposes ambiguity, omission, and interpretation risk consistently.
The automation runs within a controlled environment and is not visible to other clients or third parties.
Where does the review take place?
The review runs within our own contained system.
Your documents are not circulated, shared, or exposed to other humans as part of the process.
How long does the review take?
You receive your results in minutes, so you can make decisions without delay.
What kinds of issues does the review typically identify?
Common findings include:
- obligations that are unclear or open-ended
- missing definitions or assumptions
- inconsistencies between documents
- scope that could reasonably expand without corresponding payment
- wording that allows different interpretations by each party
These are often the causes of later disputes — even when no one intended them.
What happens after the Private Risk Review?
That’s entirely your decision. Typical routes are:
- proceed with the contract as-is
- clarify terms with client/supplier
- renegotiate
- decide not to enter the deal at all
The review exists to give you visibility — not to push you toward any particular outcome.
