Change Request

Every undocumented change is a future dispute waiting to happen.

Change requests modify the scope, timeline, or budget of an existing contract. When poorly drafted, they create ambiguity about what was agreed, who bears additional costs, and whether the original SOW still applies. BrieflyGo checks every change request for precision.

What risks are detected

Open-ended cost clauses

"Time and materials" changes with no cap can balloon to multiples of the original contract value.

Missing authorised signatures

A change request signed only by a project manager may not be binding on the company.

No timeline adjustment

Change adds work but original deadline remains — automatic breach at delivery.

Warranty scope changes

The change request may inadvertently narrow or eliminate warranty protection on deliverables.

FAQ

Can BrieflyGo review a Change Request?

Yes. Upload the Change Request and BrieflyGo returns a plain-English scan focused on risky wording, hidden obligations, and negotiation pressure points.

Is this legal advice?

No. It's an educational AI risk scan designed to help you spot wording worth reviewing more closely.

When should I scan the draft?

Before you sign, and again after edits. Risk often changes during the final negotiation pass.
