When to talk to a lawyer

Flag Red is a fast first-pass analysis tool. It catches the most common risk patterns. But some situations need human legal expertise:

High-value contracts where a lot of money is at stake
Contracts involving employment, equity, or partnership
Jurisdiction-specific requirements or regulatory compliance
Disputes or enforcement situations
Any time you are unsure about a critical term
Flag Red is your first line of defense

Use it to catch common red flags early and understand what matters. When the stakes are high, bring in a qualified attorney who can review the full legal context.
