How it works

How Revidict reviews a contract

A legal-risk tool only earns trust by being clear about what it does, how it does it, and where its limits are. Here is all three, without the hand-waving.

The review, step by step

01

Read every clause

You paste or upload the contract a client, brand, or platform sent you. Revidict extracts the text (PDF, DOCX, or pasted) and separates it into individual clauses, so each one is read on its own rather than as a wall of text.

02

Score the risk, in plain English

Each clause gets a plain-English read and a risk level, with a toggle to see the precise legal language. The score reflects who the clause protects and how one-sided it is, not a generic sentiment.

03

Benchmark against your discipline

The terms that carry money and risk (payment, deposit, kill fee, usage rights, liability, exclusivity) are compared against the typical ranges for your discipline and rate. This is the part a generic scanner cannot do: it answers 'is this normal for me?', not just 'does this clause exist?'.

04

Draft the fix

For the terms worth pushing back on, Revidict drafts a calm, professional negotiation email you can send as-is or edit, so raising an issue does not turn into a confrontation.

What it does not do

The honest part. Knowing the limits is how you use the tool well.

It is not a lawyer, and never pretends to be

Revidict is a first-pass review tool. It helps you spot the clauses worth a second look and gives you the words to raise them. For anything high-stakes, pair it with a real legal review. We say this everywhere, because it is true.

It reads with AI, so you verify before you sign

The review is produced by a language model. That makes it fast and good at spotting patterns, but it is not infallible. Treat the output as a well-informed first opinion to verify, not a final ruling. The review is clause by clause, with a toggle to the precise legal wording, so you can always read the original text and check it yourself.

Benchmarks are typical ranges, not promises

When we say a deposit of 25-50% is normal, that is the pattern we see, expressed as a range, not a guarantee or legal advice. Every deal is its own negotiation, and norms differ across regions. We would rather give you an honest range than a false precise number.

We validate what the model returns

Model output is never trusted straight into your results. Every response is shape-checked against an expected structure before it is shown, so a malformed or off-format answer is caught rather than displayed as if it were a real review.

Your contract, your data

Encrypted and scoped to you

Your contract text is protected on our servers and scoped to your account at the database level. Nobody else, including other users, can query or view your uploads or results.

Never used to train AI

Your documents are never used to train any model. We use a paid API tier specifically so your contract text is not fed into model training.

Yours to delete

You can delete any contract and its analysis from your account at any time. The free scanner at /check does not store your text unless you choose to sign up and save the review.

Common questions

Is Revidict legal advice?

No. Revidict is a first-pass review tool, not a law firm, and it does not provide legal advice. It helps you spot clauses worth a second look and drafts the email to raise them. For high-stakes contracts, pair it with a qualified lawyer.

How accurate is the AI review?

The review is produced by a language model and is designed to be a fast, well-informed first opinion, not a final ruling. It is good at spotting one-sided and off-market clauses, but you should verify anything important before signing. The review is clause by clause with a legal-wording toggle, so you can always read the original text yourself.

Why does it give ranges instead of a yes or no?

Because a range is honest and a single number often is not. What is normal for a deposit or a kill fee depends on your discipline, your rate, and where you work. We give you the typical range and let you judge where your deal sits, rather than inventing false precision.

Is my contract data private?

Yes. Your contract text is encrypted, scoped to your account so no one else can see it, and never used to train any AI model. You can delete any contract at any time, and the free scanner does not store your text unless you sign up and save the review.

What contracts can it review?

Any inbound freelance or creator contract: the paperwork a client, brand, agency, or platform sends you. You can upload a PDF or DOCX up to 10MB, or paste the text directly.
