How Is a contract certified?

A contract is certified through a structured process that combines analysis, benchmarking, and expert review to determine whether it aligns with standard market expectations.

First, TermScout evaluates the agreement and compares its terms to real-world market data. This identifies where the contract is within normal ranges and where it may create negotiation friction.

Next, the analysis is validated through a combination of automated systems and human review, with each result tied directly to the underlying contract language.

This process generates contract signals that highlight risk, out-of-market terms, and potential approval issues. These signals are then used to determine whether the contract meets TrustMark™ Certification Standards.

If the agreement aligns with market benchmarks and avoids major sources of friction, it is certified with TrustMark™. This certification provides a clear, buyer-facing signal that builds trust, reduces redlines, and helps accelerate approvals.
