Build an AI contract clause scanner alerting SMBs to auto-renewal traps
11/15The Opportunity
Vendor auto-renewal clauses cost SMBs thousands. Ironclad and Juro are enterprise-only. No $20-50/mo scanner flags hidden clauses before signing.
Clear pain with quantifiable cost. AI + legal keeps showing signal.
Original Signal
“We got hit with a $12k auto-renewal on a vendor contract nobody remembered signing. Didn't catch it until it was too late to cancel. There's no tool that flags this stuff proactively.”
Score Breakdown
11/15How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.
How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.
How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.
Existing Solutions
Ironclad and Conga handle enterprise contract lifecycle but start at $1,500+/mo — SMBs can't touch them. LawGeex does clause review but it's legal-team software, not a simple alert system for a 10-person shop.
Willingness to Pay
SMB owners hit with surprise renewals routinely lose $5k–$50k per incident and would pay $50–$150/mo for a tool that catches them in advance.
