NDA Analyser Skill

NDAs are often treated as routine paperwork but contain terms with significant long-term consequences. This skill analyses them systematically.

Required Inputs

NDA text (paste in full or describe key clauses)
Your party position (disclosing / receiving / mutual)
Purpose of the NDA (e.g. pre-sales, hiring, M&A, partnership)
Industry context (optional)

Output Structure

1. NDA Type and Parties

Type: Unilateral / Mutual
Disclosing party: [Name]
Receiving party: [Name]
Purpose: [As stated]
Governing law: [Jurisdiction]
Term: [Duration of obligations]

2. Definition of Confidential Information

How broadly defined? Narrow / Standard / Very broad
Oral disclosures included? Yes / No / With conditions
Standard exclusions present? [public domain, prior knowledge, independently developed, legally required disclosure]
Flag: [Unusual inclusions or missing exclusions]

3. Key Clause Analysis

[Clause name] — Concern / Watch / Standard

What it says: [Plain English]
Issue: [Why flagged]
Standard position: [What this typically looks like]
Negotiation suggestion: [If applicable]

Clauses always covered: permitted use, non-solicitation/non-compete, term and post-termination obligations, return/destruction of information, remedies, liability, residuals clause.

4. Negotiation Checklist

Point	Current position	Suggested ask
[e.g. Confidentiality term]	[e.g. 5 years]	[e.g. Reduce to 2 years]

5. Plain English Verdict

2-3 sentences. Standard NDA, one-sided, or needs a lawyer?

WARNING: This analysis is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Consult a qualified solicitor before signing.

Quality Checks

Definition of confidential information assessed for scope (narrow / standard / very broad)
Residuals clause checked (allows memory use of disclosed information — high-risk)
Non-solicitation / non-compete provisions flagged
Post-termination obligations duration noted
Plain English verdict given (standard / one-sided / needs lawyer)
Disclaimer is included

Anti-Patterns

Do not present the analysis as legal advice — the disclaimer must appear prominently and the output must recommend qualified legal review before any signing decision
Do not skip the residuals clause check — residuals clauses allow the receiving party to use disclosed information from memory, which is one of the highest-risk provisions in any NDA
Do not evaluate only the clauses explicitly flagged by the user — a complete analysis must cover all standard clause types even if the user only asked about one
Do not assess breadth of the confidentiality definition without checking for oral disclosure coverage — oral disclosures with no written confirmation requirement are a common enforcement gap
Do not omit the plain English verdict — a clause-by-clause analysis without a summary conclusion leaves the user unable to act on the findings

Example Trigger Phrases

"Analyse this NDA"
"Review this confidentiality agreement"
"Is this NDA standard or unusual?"
"What should I negotiate in this mutual NDA?"
