The Deal Was Lost 3 Weeks Before Legal Review

Most bad contract terms are already agreed before legal ever sees the file. This short makes the case that the damage happens weeks earlier — in a Slack message, a sales call, or a one-line email — and that a contract review is often just the receipt for a decision someone else already made. Examples from the video: - A founder promising a specific data setup on a sales call - An agency writing "sure, you'll own everything" in an email - A property manager approving a sublet verbally The takeaway: speed of review matters far less than timing of the question. If the answer can't change anything anymore, it's documentation, not advice.
