Creative Contract Guardrails
A lightweight SaaS for freelancers and small studios to generate, negotiate, and enforce design contract clauses around revisions, third-party generation tools, attribution/IP, and approval workflows. It pairs clause libraries with a client-facing approval portal that timestamps deliverables, approvals, and change requests to prevent disputes and runaway revision cycles.
Target customer
Freelance graphic designers, small branding/web studios (1–10 people) who sell fixed-fee or milestone-based creative work and repeatedly face revision churn and IP/scope disputes.
Problem-solution fit
Designers already modify contracts manually to address AI-generated revision loops and unclear ownership, but one-off clauses are hard to standardize, negotiate, and enforce. This product makes protections usable (templates + negotiation) and operational (approval + change-order workflow) so designers can limit revisions, document approvals, and charge for out-of-scope changes with minimal friction.
