Subcontracts are where margins disappear

🏗️ Subcontractors · Specialty trades · GCs · Service companies

Pay-when-paid, retainage, flow-down terms, back-charges, scope creep at locked prices — it's all buried in the subcontract.

VIDI finds it before you sign — not after the project is underwater.

What this cost one contractor

⚠ Real example — Tampa, FL
"Additional work at same unit prices."

A subcontractor signed a contract with this clause. When the scope increased 30% and materials spiked 22%, they couldn't reprice.

$47,000
Lost on one project
VIDI caught this clause before they signed — flagged as a locked-price change order risk, sourced straight to the line that caused it.

⚙️
A fixed workflow, not a conversation.

You don't prompt VIDI — you run "Contract Review" and get the same structured result every time: extract, cross-check, score, act.

🏢
Runs on your standards, not generic ones.

Set your Playbook once — payment terms, liability caps, non-negotiables — and every future contract is checked against your rules, not a generic template.

📤
Ends in a document, not a warning.

Every finding becomes a redline, a negotiation email, or a checklist item — something you can send, not just read.

🧭
Prepares your decision — doesn't make it.

VIDI never sets your price, your entitlement, or your negotiation stance. It hands you the facts, sourced to the clause, so the judgment call stays yours.

See it on your contract →

Out of the box, AI knows nothing about how you do business

A generic risk scanner flags "high liability" the same way for every company. VIDI's Playbook lets you set your own standard positions once — then every contract you upload is checked against your rules, not a one-size-fits-all list.

Without a Playbook
"This clause carries liability risk."
With your Playbook set
"§8.2 has no liability cap — your standard position requires one capped at 12 months' fees."
🏗️ Payment terms you require
⚖️ Liability caps you accept
🚫 Non-negotiables you never waive
📋 Clauses you always require

Every contract makes the next review sharper

🧠
Negotiation memory.

Mark a clause as rejected, flagged, or accepted once — VIDI recognizes it next time it shows up in a different contract.

🗓️
What you must remember after signing.

Deadlines, renewal windows, and notice periods are pulled into a contract calendar — not left buried on page 14.

📈
Your risk profile, over time.

See the clauses you consistently push back on — and catch it early the next time one shows up disguised in different wording.

What VIDI finds
in real contracts

⚠ HIGH RISK — §8.2, $6.7M CONTRACT
§8.2 — Limitation of Liability (detected clause)
"Contractor assumes full liability for all claims arising from services rendered. Client bears no responsibility for any losses, damages, or disputes under this agreement."
🔍 What it means
You carry 100% of the risk. No dispute clause, no cap on liability — you're fully exposed.
✅ What VIDI gives you
A redline for §8.2 with a liability cap, plus a negotiation email — ready to send, not a warning to sit on.

✅ Can they stop paying me?
✅ Can they sue me for unlimited damages?
✅ Can they terminate this anytime?
