Contract Review

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Flag risky clauses, missing protections, and negotiation points in any legal agreement.

SaaS Business Metrics Calculator

• Calculates customer lifetime value (LTV) and acquisition cost (CAC) to see if your model is sustainable
• Measures cash runway and burn rate so you know how long you can operate before needing more funding
• Computes Rule of 40 and other efficiency ratios to balance growth against profitability
• Analyzes payback periods and gross margins to determine if you're ready to scale marketing spend
• Compares acquisition channels to find which ones recover costs fastest

Contract Review

• Reads any contract and produces a structured review with risk rating and key terms summary
• Flags unusual or risky clauses with plain English explanations of what they mean
• Identifies missing protections that should normally be in this type of agreement
• Recommends specific actions for each clause (negotiate, accept, seek legal advice, or query)
• Translates legal jargon into a summary anyone can understand
