Contract Review vs Discovery Call Prep

Two business operations skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

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

Discovery Call Prep

By Mohit Agarwal (PM Skills)

Get a research brief, smart questions, and a clear game plan before every sales call.

What each one does

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

Discovery Call Prep

  • Researches the prospect company — size, stage, recent news, and what someone in their role likely cares about
  • Writes a call hypothesis: their probable pain, why they'd care about you, and what might kill the deal
  • Builds a question flow that moves from context to pain to buying process without feeling like an interrogation
  • Defines what success looks like so you know if the call actually moved things forward
  • Suggests a specific next step to propose at the end of the call

When to pick each one

Reach for Contract Review when…

  • You're about to sign a SaaS agreement, NDA, employment contract, or supplier deal
  • You need to understand what a contract actually says before sending it to a lawyer
  • You want to spot red flags or missing clauses before negotiations start
  • You're a founder or operator reviewing agreements without in-house legal support

Reach for Discovery Call Prep when…

  • You have a discovery call with a new prospect and want to show up with context
  • You're doing founder-led sales and need structure so every call gets better
  • You want to ask smarter questions instead of pitching too early
  • You need to qualify whether this lead is real or just 'sounds interesting'
