Treat the result as a negotiation checklist, not a pass/fail gate. Push back specifically on whichever clause drives the highest sub-score — add a price review clause, shorten the exit notice period, cap liability, or qualify a second supplier — rather than trying to renegotiate every clause at once.
Frequently asked questions
What is a contract risk score?
It summarises how exposed you are across the clauses that most commonly cause disputes or losses — pricing terms, contract length, penalty clauses, exit provisions and single-supplier dependency.
What contract clauses matter most for risk?
Price volatility protection, contract term and renewal terms, penalty and liability clauses, how easily you can exit, and how dependent you are on this single supplier.
What should I do with a high contract risk score?
Treat it as a negotiation checklist. Push back on the clauses driving the highest sub-scores, add price caps or review clauses, shorten exit notice, or qualify a second supplier before signing.
Is this contract risk scorer free to use?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, needs no account, and nothing you enter is stored or transmitted.
