Example Output
Contract Risk Analysis
- High-risk clauses: Indemnification (unlimited liability), IP ownership (vendor retains all rights), Termination (180-day notice required)
- Liability cap 30% below market standard ($1.4M vs. $2M typical)
- Recommendation: Negotiate liability cap to $2M with annual increase of 5%
Vendor Comparison
| Term | Vendor A | Vendor B | Vendor C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual Cost | $150K | $145K | $165K |
| Termination | 90 days | 180 days | 60 days |
| Liability Cap | Unlimited | $500K | $2M |
| Payment Terms | Net 30 | Net 45 | Net 30 |
Negotiation Strategy Priority 1: Cost Reduction

- Benchmark liability cap to reduce insurance costs
- Request performance credits instead of price reduction if margin pressure exists
