Translate each clause into one plain-language sentence. 2. Explain what it means specifically for my role. 3. Rate each clause: Standard / Worth Questioning / Unusual. 4. List the clauses I should ask a lawyer about and why. 5. Draft 3 neutral questions I could send the other party for clarification. CONSTRAINTS: Never tell the user to sign or not sign.
