The review

Executive summary

Assumptions & open questions for the vendor Assumptions are for your side; the questions are safe to send.

Cost analysis Every line shows its arithmetic; the browser re-adds the totals.

Risk assessment Every risk carries a mitigation you can act on.

Negotiation points

Each one names the term to move, the leverage you hold, and the concrete outcome to ask for. The email draft carries only the questions and the asks — your leverage notes never leave this page.

How it works

Nothing to hand? Load the — a cleanly termed proposal that earns a proceed — the , where an auto-renewing contract with a 38% uplift earns a negotiate with the exact asks, or the , where two vendors go dimension by dimension and the honest call is to pass on the shinier one.

Paste the document — the prescan is free

No upload, no AI: the prescan reads the paste in your browser and lists what it mechanically found — every money figure, percentage and term length, compliance names like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 — and the flags: auto-renewal language, unilateral price-change wording, no pricing anywhere, no SLA commitment, no termination clause, no stated term. Each group explains why it matters to the review. This part costs nothing and happens while you type.

The AI reviews — this is the metered part

A procurement analyst's pass over the whole document: the real cost per year with the arithmetic shown line by line (your seat count and incumbent spend folded in when you give them), risks rated by likelihood and impact with a concrete mitigation each, strengths and concerns pinned to verbatim quotes, a dimension-by-dimension matrix when two vendors are pasted, and a recommendation that must follow from the analysis — proceed, negotiate with the exact asks, or pass with the reason. When the document hides a number, the review says what is missing and asks for it instead of inventing it. Pricing is honest too: a worst-case amount is reserved before the run and only what the run actually uses is charged — the meter next to the button shows both.

Take it to the table

Copy the negotiation points for the call, or copy the ready-made vendor email draft — it carries the open questions and the asks, never your leverage notes. "Copy for approval" gives the one-paragraph version for the Slack thread or the ticket, and the cost and risk tables export as CSV for the budget sheet. Past reviews are saved to your account (mirrored on this device) with restore: when the vendor comes back with revised terms, re-run and the review opens with a what-moved strip — totals, recommendation and risks compared against your previous review of the same vendor.
