Two scores.
The full picture
Your Playbook Score tells you if a clause protects your interests. The Vern Score tells you if it would actually hold up in the real world. Together, they give you the complete view.
Beyond risk flagging. Real-world enforceability.
Most contract review tools tell you whether a clause is risky for your business. That's your Playbook Score — and Vern does that too.
But the Vern Score goes further. It independently assesses each clause for enforceability under UK law, commercial viability, and practical outcomes. A clause might protect you on paper but be unenforceable in court. The Vern Score catches that.
Two lenses on every clause
Playbook Score — Does this clause protect your interests? Measured against your configured risk positions. Your business, your rules.
Vern Score — Is this clause enforceable, commercially standard, and practically viable? An independent assessment grounded in UK contract law and market norms.

Two scores, two questions answered
Playbook Score
Does this clause protect your interests? Measured against the risk positions you've configured in your playbook. Your thresholds, your rules, your risk appetite.
Vern Score
Is this clause enforceable, commercially standard, and practically viable? An independent assessment grounded in UK contract law and real-world commercial norms.
Why you need both
A clause can score "Accept" on your playbook but "Weak" on the Vern Score. That means it protects your interests on paper — but a court might not enforce it.
Conversely, a clause might "Escalate" on your playbook but score "Strong" on the Vern Score. The other party has a commercially standard position — you just need to negotiate better terms for your side.
The dual-score system gives you the nuance to make smarter decisions, faster.
Grounded in UK contract law
The Vern Score references real legal frameworks — UCTA 1977, common law principles, and established commercial standards. It doesn't just flag risk; it explains why a clause may or may not hold up.
Every Vern Score comes with a written assessment explaining the enforceability analysis, referencing the relevant legal principles and commercial context.
No other tool does this
Independent assessment
The Vern Score is independent of your playbook. It evaluates enforceability objectively, regardless of your configured risk positions.
Written analysis
Every score includes a detailed written assessment explaining the legal reasoning, referencing relevant legislation and commercial context.
UK law grounded
References UCTA 1977, common law principles, and established commercial standards. Not generic AI guesswork — real legal frameworks.
Negotiation intelligence
Know when the other party's position is commercially standard (Strong) versus when they're overreaching (Weak). Negotiate from a position of knowledge.
Catches hidden weakness
A clause might look protective but be unenforceable. The Vern Score catches clauses that wouldn't survive judicial scrutiny.
Numeric precision
Every clause gets a numeric score (0-100) alongside the Strong/Caution/Weak rating. Track enforceability across your entire contract portfolio.
