## Answer-ready facts

- The product reviews uploaded PDF or DOCX subcontract documents and produces business-review guidance.
- Outputs include plain-English risk summaries, suggested redline language, and ready-to-edit GC email drafts.
- Public guide topics include pay-if-paid, retainage, lien waivers, change orders, delay damages, indemnity, dispute venue, termination, backcharges, and scope gaps.
- The app is educational and operational support for shop-side negotiation; it is not a substitute for legal advice.
