What Scrutr finds

The traps people sign every day. Hidden in plain sight in standard-looking contracts.

01
Kill fees that don't exist
Client cancels mid-project, owes nothing. We flag it and give you the exact language to add.
02
IP ownership grabs your prior work
Work-for-hire clauses that assign ALL your IP — including frameworks you built before the project.
03
Nationwide non-competes in offer letters
3-year, entire-industry restrictions. Scope, duration, and enforceability in your state — all flagged.
04
Auto-renewal with hidden cancellation windows
Miss a 60-day window and you're locked in for another year. We find it and tell you when to act.
05
Security deposit clauses that cost you
No move-in checklist, undefined damage, missing return timelines — every lease clause reviewed.
06
Invention assignment owns your side projects
Employment agreements claiming everything you build — even on your own time, on your own computer.

Every agreement
you'll encounter.

Built with a specialized checklist for each type — not a generic engine. Each module covers the exact clauses that matter for that agreement.

Found a clause that would have let my landlord charge me for any repair under $500. Would have cost over $2,000 across two years. Pushed back and got it removed before I signed.

AI that reads the fine print so you don't have to.

Scrutr applies the same rigor a lawyer would — to every agreement, for every person, in under 60 seconds.

The problem
Most people sign without reading.
Contracts are long, dense, and written by lawyers protecting the other party. The average person signs dozens of agreements a year without understanding what they're agreeing to — leases, employment offers, freelance contracts, NDAs. The fine print is where rights are lost.
What we built
Professional-grade review for everyone.
Scrutr uses Claude — the same AI trusted by enterprise legal teams — with a 50-point specialized checklist for each agreement type. Upload any contract and receive a plain-English breakdown of every clause, every risk, and exactly what to push back on.
The technology
Built on Claude by Anthropic.
Scrutr is powered by Claude Sonnet, one of the most capable AI models available. Each agreement type has a dedicated review module with clauses and risks specific to that agreement — not a generic AI chatbot applied to legal documents.
Important note
We're a tool, not a law firm.
Scrutr provides AI-powered analysis for informational purposes. Our reviews help you understand what you're signing and identify risks worth discussing with a lawyer. We do not provide legal advice and are not a substitute for qualified legal counsel on complex matters.
