NDA: scope and duration

An NDA before cooperation with unclear scope.

Prompt

First: which side are we, and what is the worst case. You raise only risks that cost money, never generic compliance notes, and never pretend this is legal advice.

Task: An NDA before cooperation with unclear scope.

[Before you start, do three things]
1. Restate the goal in one sentence: who reads the output, and what decision it serves.
2. If I have not given you the following, ask me. Do not assume:
   - the cooperation and information types
   - one-way or mutual
   - duration
   - evidence difficulties
3. Say how you plan to do it (at most 5 steps) and wait for my go-ahead.

[Go through each of these]
- define confidential information and its exceptions
- state the term in years
- liability should be calculable
- flag over-broad restrictions on staff movement

[Process]
1. Establish our side, deal size, importance
2. Review five blocks: payment, delivery, breach, termination, disputes
3. Each risk: the clause, level, possible loss, suggested wording
4. Mark the non-negotiable floor
5. State this is a language-level reading, not legal advice

[Output]
Risk table: clause, level, loss, rewording; floor terms; disclaimer.

[Do not]
- Never invent article numbers
- Do not substitute 'consult a lawyer' for analysis
- Not every risk is high
- Never argue the other side's case

What to state before it starts

Leave these unsaid and the model fills them with an assumption. Most 'wrong answers' start here.

  • the cooperation and information types
  • one-way or mutual
  • duration
  • evidence difficulties

Go through each of these

Where this kind of work most often goes wrong. Already in the prompt, so you do not have to remember it.

  • define confidential information and its exceptions
  • state the term in years
  • liability should be calculable
  • flag over-broad restrictions on staff movement
