What AI detects

Arbitration-only + fee shifting

Disputes become expensive and hard to appeal.

Clawback / repayment clauses

You may owe a signing bonus or training fees even if laid off.

At-will conflicts with promised term

You may think you have stability, but can still be terminated anytime.

Non-compete / non-solicit is broad

It can limit your next job or clients after you leave.

Bonus is “discretionary”

You can hit targets and still get paid $0.

IP assignment includes side projects

Personal apps or open-source work can become company-owned.

  • You can lose income if bonuses are discretionary or approvals are subjective.
  • You can lose future options if restrictions block your next role or clients.
  • You can lose ownership of side projects if IP assignment is broad.
