Contract and quote check FAQs
Useful context before your next step.
Does a high score mean the contract is safe to sign?
No. The score measures topic coverage only. It cannot assess legal effect, pricing fairness, builder solvency or whether the written terms match your project.
Why does the tool not enforce a maximum deposit?
Deposit rules and exceptions vary by jurisdiction and contract type. The tool prompts you to verify the rule with the relevant licensing or consumer authority instead of presenting a generic cap as law.
