# Clause checklist - what a contract is missing, and what bites
## Philosophy
**The most expensive clauses are the ones that are not in the contract.** Reviewing a contract is not
only reading what is written - it is checking that no safeguard this deal needs is absent. This skill
walks the contract against a fixed list of 41 clause categories and, for each, says: present / absent
/ present-but-risky, quoting the clause when present.
It is **extractive** - what it shows comes from the contract, not from paraphrase. It flags presence
and risk; the assessment and the call stay with the lawyer.
## The 41 categories (CUAD taxonomy)
Groups follow CUAD (1-6) plus ungrouped categories. For each: present / absent / risky + a quote when present.
