Stop signing what you haven't read.
Most important documents are too long to read carefully. Leases, vendor contracts, job offers, terms of service. Verdict reads them for you in under ten seconds and gives you back what's actually in there, which clauses are worth pushing back on, and the exact words to use when you push. Built for people who keep meaning to read more carefully but rarely do.
Not live yet. The first 100 sign-ups lock in $9/month for as long as they stay subscribed. Cancel and the price goes back to $29.
How it works
Three steps. About eight seconds.
Paste what you've been meaning to read, wait less than the time it takes to make coffee, and decide based on what comes back.
I.
Paste the document.
A lease, a vendor agreement, an article, a terms of service. PDFs, URLs, and pasted text all work. Up to 50 pages per document.
II.
Verdict reads it.
Every clause, every footnote, every section you'd otherwise skip. The whole document, parsed for what matters and what doesn't.
III.
You get the verdict.
What comes back tells you the actual position, the red flags worth pushing back on, and the specific moves to make next. Not a summary. Something you can act on.
What it actually gives you
See it in action.
Three real documents, each run through Verdict. An apartment lease, a job offer letter, and a vendor contract. Switch between them to see how the verdict, the flags, and the actions change depending on what you paste in.
Document, apartment lease excerpt
"Tenant agrees that any modifications to the premises require landlord approval. Tenant shall be responsible for all repair costs not exceeding $500 per incident, with no limit on the number of incidents per lease term. Landlord reserves the right to enter the premises with 24 hours notice for any reason deemed necessary..."
Verdict
Risky for the tenant. Two clauses worth pushing back on before you sign.
What to watch
- The $500-per-incident repair clause has no cap on how many incidents can happen. That means unlimited annual liability in practice.
- "Modification" isn't defined. A shelf or paint touch-up could technically trigger the approval clause.
- "Any reason deemed necessary" for entry is broad enough that a landlord could use it to harass.
What to do
- Ask the landlord to cap total repair liability at $1,500 per year.
- Get a written definition of "modification" that excludes hooks, shelves, and paint.
- Push the entry clause to require a specific reason in writing.
Document, job offer letter excerpt
"Equity grant: 40,000 RSUs vesting over 4 years with a 1-year cliff, subject to continued employment. Non-compete: Employee agrees not to work for any competing company in a similar role for a period of 12 months following separation. Severance: Two weeks at termination, regardless of cause..."
Verdict
Comp looks competitive, but the equity and non-compete terms tilt toward the company.
What to watch
- The 1-year cliff is normal, but there's no acceleration if you're laid off. Most senior offers include at least single-trigger acceleration.
- The 12-month non-compete is wider than most courts will actually enforce, especially in California. They put it there hoping you won't push.
- Two weeks of severance "regardless of cause" sounds neutral but works against you if they let you go without cause.
What to do
- Counter for single-trigger acceleration on termination without cause.
- Narrow the non-compete to a specific named list of competitors.
- Push severance to 4 weeks plus 2 weeks per year of tenure.
Document, vendor MSA, marketing agency
"Agency shall perform services as outlined in the attached Statement of Work. Additional work outside the SOW may be undertaken at Agency's discretion and billed at standard rates. Payment terms: Net 15. Late payments accrue a 1.5% monthly service fee. Either party may terminate with 60 days written notice..."
Verdict
Scope is loose enough that the agency can bill you for almost anything.
What to watch
- "At Agency's discretion" for out-of-scope work means they don't need your sign-off before billing you for it. The most common way agency invoices blow up.
- 1.5% monthly is 18% annually, and it compounds. A credit card rate disguised as a late fee.
- 60-day termination notice is on the long side. 30 days is standard for services contracts of this size.
What to do
- Require written approval before any out-of-scope work is performed.
- Cap late fees at 1% per month or the maximum allowed by your state.
- Negotiate termination notice down to 30 days.
Why it matters
Read less. Catch more. Decide faster.
Every document you sign without reading carefully is a bet that nothing important is hiding in the parts you skipped. Verdict ends that bet.
01
Faster decisions
Cut document review from 45 minutes of skim-reading to eight seconds of clear verdict. Verdict tells you what matters, not what's there.
02
Catch hidden clauses
Auto-renewals, liability caps, arbitration waivers, data-resale terms. The clauses that cost real money, flagged before you sign.
03
Save on legal review
A lawyer charges $300 to $500 to redline a contract. Verdict catches the same flags in eight seconds. You decide which ones still need an attorney.
04
Negotiate from strength
Every red flag comes with the specific ask: what to counter, how to phrase it, and where to push back. Not analysis you have to translate. Moves you can use.

Frequently asked
Questions worth answering.
Verdict uses the same class of language models that power leading AI assistants, paired with specialized prompt architecture for document analysis. It's designed for first-pass review. The job is catching the red flags, framing the negotiation moves, and surfacing the questions you'd otherwise miss. It does not replace a lawyer for high-stakes contracts where the dollar amounts justify one. It does replace the 45 minutes of skim-reading you'd otherwise do on a lease, a terms of service, or an offer letter.
Yes. Documents are processed in memory and never stored after the verdict is delivered. We don't train models on your data, we don't share it with third parties, and we don't keep copies. Your verdict history (on the Pro tier) is stored on your account but never used for anything outside your own access.
Leases, job offers, vendor contracts (MSAs, SOWs, NDAs), terms of service, privacy policies, insurance documents, long-form articles, and email threads. Anything text-heavy under 50 pages per document. PDFs, URLs, and pasted text all work.
ChatGPT gives you a summary when you ask for one. Verdict gives you a verdict by default. That includes the position, the red flags, and the actions to take, all designed specifically for documents you have to act on. Different prompt architecture, specialized for decision-support rather than general conversation. You don't have to know how to prompt it well. The structure is already there.
Verdict is not legal advice. It's a first-pass analyst that flags what's worth asking a lawyer about. For high-stakes contracts (large dollar amounts, complex jurisdiction, regulatory matters), talk to a licensed attorney. For the 95% of documents people sign without reading carefully, Verdict is the safety net.
Yes. Cancel from your account page with one click. No annual contract, no cancellation fee. Worth knowing if you're in the first 100: your $9/month founder pricing stays locked for as long as your subscription is active. If you cancel and come back later, you'll pay the standard $29/month. The founder discount is a one-time opportunity, not a permanent badge on your account.
It opens in Q3 of 2026.
