AI-Powered Contract Review for SMBs
Upload any contract, get a plain-English summary, flagged risks, missing clauses, and negotiation suggestions in minutes.

Distribution through accountants or legal clinics could work. What has to be true: the AI must be accurate enough that users don't get burned, and you must find a way to get initial users without paid ads.
