How to Triage Incoming NDAs with Eigent

How it works

1. Call /triage-nda, state your position (receiving party or disclosing party), and paste the full NDA text — partial text produces incomplete results.
2. Eigent returns a structured triage card: a rating, the primary reason for it, the specific triggering clauses, and a routing recommendation.
3. Act on the result — GREEN means proceed, YELLOW means negotiate specific clauses before signing, RED means stop and escalate to legal counsel.
4. For YELLOW and RED results, take the triage card into a full review or generate redlines for the flagged clauses.
5. For batches, paste up to five NDAs labelled sequentially and ask for a summary table — faster than reviewing a queue one at a time.

More prompts to try

• We have 3 NDAs to review today [paste each labelled 1, 2, 3]. We are the receiving party on all three. Rate each GREEN / YELLOW / RED, give one primary reason per rating, and output as a table.
• This NDA is governed by California law — does that change the rating on the non-compete clause in Section 5?
• The counterparty says the 5-year confidentiality period is standard in their industry. Is that accurate? What's the market norm?
• Before a partnership call this afternoon, triage this NDA and give me a 3-point briefing on what to watch for in the conversation.

How to use

Always state your position before triage — receiving party vs. disclosing party changes which clauses are risks and which are protections. Paste the full document; triage on a summary or excerpt will miss context that changes the rating. State governing law if you know it — mutual vs. one-way NDA treatment and enforceability of non-competes varies significantly by jurisdiction. A GREEN rating is a first pass, not a legal opinion — escalate to qualified counsel for high-value or strategic agreements. For batch triage, label each NDA clearly (1, 2, 3) and ask for a table output.

Expected output

A triage card for each NDA: a GREEN / YELLOW / RED rating, the single primary reason for the rating, a list of specific triggering clauses with section references, and a routing recommendation (sign as-is, negotiate before signing, or escalate to legal).

Limitations

• Triage is a first-pass screen, not a full clause-by-clause review — use it to route, not to replace review on material agreements.
• A GREEN rating does not constitute legal approval — it means no issues rise to the level of blocking or requiring negotiation given standard risk norms.
• Triage is calibrated conservatively: a RED flags material risk that warrants review, not necessarily that the NDA is unacceptable.
