The problem

Contract review is the big bottleneck every creator hits.

Creators should create. Managers should hustle - careers, deals, revenue. CBA handles the contracts.

Time drain

A single talent contract takes 3-5 hours of focused review. That's your most experienced person reading legalese every week, instead of growing the roster.

Hidden risk

Unlimited paid usage. Uncapped exclusivity. Buried indemnities. Career-defining clauses, easy to miss at clause 11 of a 40-page doc.

Legal cost

Escalating to a legal professional costs £500-£2,000+ per contract - plus days of attention pulled from the job in hand. Many contracts never get escalated at all. That silence is where the risk lives.

No consistency

Every review depends on who does it, how much time they have - or what mood the AI is in that day. No audit trail, no structured process, no way to compare deals over time.

CBA vs the alternative

A tool for creators. Not lawyers.

Every other option for reviewing a talent contract has a structural flaw. Manual review burns hours. Generic AI hallucinates. Legal tech platforms cost six figures. CBA is purpose-built for the deals creators and their teams actually face.

The solution

How CBA fits into your workflow.

Pre-agreed terms in. Contract in. A structured, risk-rated, plain-English summary out. Every flag is backed by a specific rule in our industry library, every result is reproducible, every decision is logged.

1

Pre-agreed terms check

Log what you negotiated before the contract arrives. CBA automatically checks every clause against what was agreed, and flags where the brand has deviated.

2

Clause matching built from real talent deals

Payment, usage, exclusivity, IP ownership, moral rights and more. Calibrated for the deals you actually face.

3

Missing clause detection

CBA flags clauses that should be present but aren't. What's missing from a contract is often more dangerous than what's in it.

4

Plain English summaries

Every clause translated into clear, jargon-free language. Understand what you're signing without needing a law degree.

5

Built-in deal CRM

Every deal is captured at creation: pre-agreed terms, contract history, risk scores, all in one place. Searchable, versioned, defensible.

How it works

Four steps. Under a minute.

1

Set your terms

Enter what you agreed: payment, usage, exclusivity, term.

2

Upload the contract

Drop in the brand's contract (PDF or docx). CBA reads every clause and matches it against your terms and our clause library.

3

Get your results

See what matches, what doesn't, and what's missing, in seconds. Every flag is colour-coded (green / amber / red) with a plain-English explanation.

The maths

The hours you free up. And the costs you avoid.

A typical talent contract takes 3-5 hours of focused work: read, mark up, negotiate, sign off. Plus the days of back-and-forth in between. ContractBuddy compresses the focused work into minutes and accelerates the calendar time.

Per contract<60 secondsEngine review time

From upload to a risk-rated, plain-English summary with redline suggestions in under a minute.

Per escalation£500-£2,000+Legal cost avoided

Flag risk early, fix it in plain English, and avoid the solicitor invoice for issues that should never have reached them.

Per month, busy manager24 hoursHours for higher-value work

Active management, pitching, growing the roster. Three full working days back per month, every month.

6 contracts/month × 4 hours × 12 months = 288 hours a year

Freed up for winning deals, not reading legalese. A conservative middle-case for a moderately busy talent manager - heavier loads scale linearly, and some users see 400+ hours back.

Why CBA

Not another AI wrapper. A purpose-built engine.

Generic AI guesses at legal conclusions. CBA doesn't guess. It matches every clause against a rule-based library built from real talent deals. Explainable results you can actually act on.

The CBA difference

Deterministic, not generative

CBA uses constrained matching logic and a curated clause library, not free-form AI generation. Results are explainable and auditable, not probabilistic guesses.

Industry-specific from day one

Our clause library is built from real talent contracts, covering payment, usage, exclusivity, IP and more. Calibrated for the deals creators and their teams actually face.

Secure by design

Your contract data is encrypted and isolated with row-level database security. Your talent's deals stay private. No data processed through shared public AI models.

Scales with your growth

Creators free up creative time. Junior managers gain independence. Senior managers reclaim their schedule. Whole agencies run structured, consistent reviews at a fraction of the cost of legal escalation.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is CBA different from pasting a contract into ChatGPT?

Generic AI generates plausible-sounding text, and the same question can get a different answer tomorrow. CBA matches every clause against a rule-based library built from real talent deals - same contract in, same answer out, and every flag traceable to the specific rule and clause behind it.

What do I need before I can review a contract?

The brand's contract, as a PDF or Word document. For the full check, add your pre-agreed terms - fee, usage, exclusivity, term - and CBA reconciles the paperwork against the deal you actually struck, clause by clause.

Is my contract data private?

Yes. Your contracts are encrypted, isolated with row-level database security, and never used to train anyone's AI. Each customer's data sits in its own private environment, GDPR-ready.

What does the free trial include?

One full contract review with everything included - risk ratings, plain-English summaries, suggested language, export. Cancel before billing starts and you pay nothing.

Do I need any legal knowledge to use it?

No. Every clause comes back in plain English with a clear risk rating, so you can see what matters at a glance. And when something genuinely needs a professional, CBA says so - you escalate with a precise brief instead of a 40-page mystery, which is where the £500-£2,000 savings come from.

Which plan should I pick?

Tiers differ by monthly contract volume only - every plan runs the full engine, every feature included. Start where your volume sits, move tiers whenever it changes, and your founding rate stays locked in.

Built for creators. Built for trust.
