About WorkContractReview.com
Last updated: March 2025
What this tool is
WorkContractReview.com is an AI-powered employment contract analysis tool. You upload a contract — PDF, DOCX, or image — and the tool reads it, identifies risk clauses, scores them by severity, and generates a plain-English report with specific negotiation recommendations.
It is built for workers who want to understand what they are signing before they accept a job offer, sign a severance agreement, or enter a contractor engagement — without waiting days for an attorney appointment or paying $300–$600 for a contract review consultation.
This is not legal advice. WorkContractReview.com is not a law firm, does not employ attorneys, and does not provide legal representation. The output is educational analysis — a starting point for your own judgment or a professional consultation, not a substitute for one.
What AI model powers the analysis
The analysis is powered by Claude claude-opus-4-6, developed by Anthropic. Claude is a large language model with strong performance on document comprehension, legal language interpretation, and structured output generation.
The tool sends the contract text (or image) to Claude along with a structured prompt that instructs it to identify specific clause types, assess risk levels using a 0–100 scale, explain each flagged clause in plain English, and suggest specific negotiation language. The prompt is designed around commonly documented employment law standards — not proprietary legal training data.
Known limitation: Large language models are highly accurate at clause identification and risk pattern recognition. They are less reliable for jurisdiction-specific enforceability predictions — for example, whether a specific non-compete would survive a challenge in your specific state court, under current case law, given your specific facts. For that level of analysis, you need a licensed employment attorney in your jurisdiction.
What the analysis checks
The analysis prompt instructs the AI to review the following clause categories in every contract it receives:
- Non-compete clauses — Duration, geographic scope, industry breadth, governing law, and enforceability signals
- IP assignment — Scope of assignment, personal-time carve-outs, pre-existing work protection, background IP
- Forced arbitration — Whether arbitration is mandatory, class action waivers, carve-outs for harassment claims
- Clawback provisions — Signing bonus repayment triggers, proportional vs flat repayment, involuntary termination coverage
- Termination terms — At-will language, definition of "cause," notice periods, severance triggers and amounts
- Non-solicitation clauses — Client and employee non-solicitation scope, duration, passive vs active contact distinction
- Equity and vesting — Vesting schedule, cliff period, acceleration provisions (single vs double trigger), exercise windows
- Confidentiality — Scope of covered information, duration, mutual vs one-sided, portfolio rights
- Governing law and forum — Which jurisdiction governs, whether forum selection is favorable to the worker
- Overall risk score — A 0–100 composite risk score and one of four risk levels: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL
