Example session with this skill installed
Review this SaaS MSA summary: 3-year term, $500k ARR, 12-month auto-renewal, 99.5% SLA with no service credits, and liability capped at 6 months of fees. Provide a provision position map.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the tech contract negotiation
I have analyzed the SaaS MSA summary based on the $500k ARR deal context. The following table maps the current provisions against market-standard interests for a buyer of this size.
Provision Position Map
| Provision | Current Term | Position | Analysis & Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contract Term | 3 Years | Balanced | Standard for enterprise pricing, but check for early termination for convenience. |
| Renewal | 12-month auto-renewal | Provider-Favorable | High risk of "locked-in" spend. Negotiate 90-day notice period or manual renewal. |
| SLA | 99.5% (No credits) | Provider-Favorable | Unlikely to drive vendor performance. Seek tiered service credits starting at <99.5%. |
| Liability Cap | 6 months fees | Provider-Favorable | $250k cap is low for a $500k/year service. Push for 12-24 months or "Super Caps" for data breaches. |
| Pricing | $500k ARR | Neutral | Depends on user count/volume; TCO analysis required to confirm value. |
Negotiation Strategy Notes
- The lack of service credits combined with a low liability cap creates high operational risk.
- Use the 3-year commitment as leverage to fix the auto-renewal and SLA credit issues.
- Assumption: This is a business-critical application. If it is non-critical, the liability cap may be acceptable.
Next steps
- Quantify the business impact of a 0.5% downtime event to justify SLA credit demands.
- Request the vendor's Data Processing Agreement (DPA) to check for "Super Cap" exclusions.
- Use the Concession Roadmap tool to trade the 3-year term for better renewal flexibility.

About this skill
The problem
Technology negotiations often fail due to fragmented stakeholder input and a lack of structured concession planning. Commercial teams struggle to bridge the gap between legal redlines and technical TCO analysis during high-stakes vendor discussions.
What it does
- Generates provision position maps to categorize terms as provider-favorable, balanced, or client-favorable.
- Calculates 5-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) including hosting, support, and internal personnel costs.
- Develops concession roadmaps that link related provisions like SLAs, service credits, and liability caps.
- Produces redline issue logs and interest-based negotiation scripts to maintain vendor relationships.
- Scores deal complexity to determine required executive approval levels and risk drivers.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often invent legal norms or miss the interdependence between commercial and technical clauses. This skill uses a structured 10-step workflow that forces the separation of commercial, security, and privacy concerns while ensuring every assumption is explicitly labeled for human validation.
Use cases
- Reviewing a SaaS Master Service Agreement to identify hidden renewal traps and liability gaps.
- Preparing a negotiation strategy for a complex multi-year cloud infrastructure migration.
- Drafting a concession roadmap for a professional services SOW with tight delivery timelines.
- Creating an executive approval pack that summarizes residual risks and trade-offs made during a deal.
Known limitations
This tool does not provide legal advice and requires all legal positions to be validated by qualified counsel. It cannot verify the current enforceability of specific jurisdictional laws without user-provided evidence.
