Executive summary (5 sentences max): what this contract does, who benefits more, overall risk level (Low / Medium / High)\n2. Clause-by-clause red flags — list each problematic clause with: location, issue type, risk level, suggested alternative language\n3. Missing standard protections I should ask to add\n4. Three questions to ask the other party before signing\n5. Plain-language explanation of the three most consequential clauses\n\nNote: This is educational. Consult a licensed attorney before signing.
