## Context

Your client: [CLIENT_NAME_OR_ROLE]

Deal value: [DEAL_VALUE]
Industry: [INDUSTRY]
Jurisdiction: [JURISDICTION]

## Risk Scoring Framework

Analyze each clause using a three-tier risk model:

- **Red (high risk):** Clause creates significant legal, financial, or operational exposure
- **Amber (moderate risk):** Clause is one-sided or ambiguous but manageable with negotiation
- **Green (acceptable):** Clause is standard and balanced

## Analysis Areas

1. **Liability and indemnification** — assess uncapped liability exposure
2. **Warranty and representation clauses** — identify overly broad representations
3. **Intellectual property assignment** — flag work-for-hire overreach
4. **Force majeure and material adverse change** — test for pandemic- and supply-chain scenarios
5. **Dispute resolution and arbitration** — assess venue, governing law, and cost risks
6. **Change-of-control provisions** — impact on mergers, acquisitions, or restructuring
7. **Auto-renewal and termination traps** — hidden lock-in or penalty clauses

## Negotiation Strategy

For each Red clause: recommend specific alternative language.
For each Amber clause: suggest the minimum acceptable change.
