  • Governing law: [Jurisdiction]
  • Term: [Duration of obligations]

2. Definition of Confidential Information

  • How broadly defined? Narrow / Standard / Very broad
  • Oral disclosures included? Yes / No / With conditions

  • Residuals clause checked (allows memory use of disclosed information — high-risk)
  • Non-solicitation / non-compete provisions flagged
  • Post-termination obligations duration noted
  • Plain English verdict given (standard / one-sided / needs lawyer)

Example Trigger Phrases
