Report Guide
Every report is divided into clear blocks — each answers a specific question about your document. This guide walks through all sections so you know exactly what to focus on and why.
Risk Index Score
The Risk Index Score is a single number from 0 to 10 that summarises the total risk burden found in your document. It is calculated from the number and severity of issues detected — not just a count, but a weighted formula that prioritises Critical findings.

?Executive Summary
This section translates the document into human language — no legal jargon. It answers: "what is this document really saying, and what do I need to act on?"
Plain-English Brief
A narrative summary written for a non-lawyer. Read this first to understand the contract's core intent before diving into the risk details.
Key Risks Summary
A bullet-point list of the most important risk themes found — useful for quickly briefing a colleague or lawyer.
Critical Areas to Watch
Specific clauses or sections that warrant the closest scrutiny. Think of this as a "do not skip" checklist.
Immediate Priority Actions
Concrete next steps — such as "request deletion of clause 4.2" or "clarify definition of 'Net Revenue'". Act on these first.

Purpose
Before diving into risks, the report surfaces the essential facts of the document in a clean grid — so you can verify the AI understood the contract correctly.
Risk Charts
Two charts give complementary views of the issue distribution. Together they reveal whether risk is concentrated in one area or spread across the whole document.
Risk Distribution Chart
A bar chart showing the absolute count of Critical, Medium, and Low issues side by side. Taller red bars = more urgent attention needed.
Risk Radar Chart
A spider/radar chart mapping risk across six categories: Financial, Legal Liability, Privacy, Termination, IP, and Compliance. A wide polygon = risk is spread across multiple dimensions. A spike in one axis = concentrated category risk.

Low

How the Risk Index Score is calculated
The base score starts at 2 (reflecting inherent document risk), then each issue adds weight according to its severity. A document with even one Critical issue jumps quickly; Low issues contribute minimally. The score is capped at 10.
