Frequently asked questions

How can Contract Sharp help me and my business?

If you run an SME, tech contracts can feel like a gamble. They look neat on paper but often hide:

Costs that creep up over time,
Supplier controls that limit your options, and
Performance gaps that stall delivery.

That’s where Contract Sharp helps. We give you the clarity and leverage to manage suppliers on your terms.

Contract Sharp Report → Plain-English analysis of your deal so you know exactly what you’re signing and what actions to take.
Contract Sharp Support → Ongoing oversight that flags risks, deadlines, and leverage points before they cost you.
Sharp Masterclasses → Practical skills so you and your team can spot red flags, push back on suppliers, and negotiate with confidence.

In short: we protect your business from hidden traps and make sure every tech contract delivers the value you’re paying for.

Why do I need the Contract Sharp Report?

Our Contract Sharp Report reviews your contract in detail, giving you a visual RAG rating summary across multiple areas and highlighting the key risks, costs, and opportunities - all in plain English. It also includes clear next steps, so you know exactly where to act and what to prioritise.

We combine years of hands-on experience with tech contracts with secure AI-assisted analysis to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. This means you get insights you simply won’t find anywhere else - and that your supplier isn’t going to tell you.

Bottom line: With the Contract Sharp Report, you see exactly what matters, avoid surprises, and can act with confidence.

Does Contract Sharp provide legal advice?

No. The Contract Sharp Report complements your legal team and legal advice, it doesn't replace it. We focus on commercial, operational, and practical insights that often fall outside traditional legal review (but that often give the biggest headaches), giving you clarity on what really matters in the life of the contract.

How long does it take to get a Contract Sharp Report?

Our reports are built for speed without cutting corners. Once we receive your contract, you’ll typically get a detailed Contract Sharp Report within 7 calendar days for a 30-page agreement. Larger or more complex contracts may take slightly longer, but you’ll always know the expected turnaround up front.

What can I expect from the Sharp Sessions?

Our Sharp Masterclasses are live, 60-minute online training sessions - practical, jargon-free, and focused on the real issues that trip up SMEs in tech contracts. They’re designed to give you the skills and confidence to manage suppliers on your terms.

We currently offer three masterclasses:

Contract Red Flags for SMEs → Spot risky clauses, understand leverage, and protect your position before you sign.
Data Security & GDPR Essentials → Navigate compliance, data residency, and security issues with confidence.
SLA & Vendor Performance Management → Set meaningful SLAs, monitor suppliers, and hold vendors accountable.

Do one, or build up a full toolkit by taking all three. Bundle options are available.

By the end of each masterclass, you’ll walk away with:

A clear framework to spot risks and opportunities others miss
Practical tools and checklists you can apply immediately
The confidence to negotiate, decide, and stay in control
A certificate of completion

For professionals and SMEs alike, these masterclasses deliver clarity, control, and practical skills that protect your business and profits - no legal or technical background required.

Do I need both the Contract Sharp Report and the Sharp Masterclasses?

Not necessarily - it depends on your business needs.

Contract Sharp Report → Gives you fast, plain-English insights into a specific contract: the risks, costs, and opportunities, plus clear next steps so you can decide and negotiate with confidence.
Sharp Masterclasses → Build lasting skills across the contract lifecycle. From spotting red flags to managing SLAs and data obligations, you’ll gain practical tools you can apply to every deal, not just one.
Contract Sharp Support → Ongoing oversight to keep your contracts on track - no blindspots, no surprises.

Some clients just want a one-off report. Others prefer to build their team’s skills through training. Many do both, using the report for immediate decisions and the masterclasses to stay in control long-term.

In short: you can choose one or combine them - each option is designed to protect value, avoid pitfalls, and strengthen your position.

What's the cost?

Sharp Masterclasses → £175pp per live online session (60 minutes). Each course is practical, jargon-free, and designed to give you immediately applicable tools. Bundle options are available if you’d like to take all three.
Contract Sharp Report → Starting at £750, with a free initial consultation. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your contract.
Contract Sharp Support → Starting at £4,000 per quarter, this ongoing support option ensures you never miss risks, deadlines, or opportunities in your tech contracts. Pricing scales with the scope and number of contracts under management.

You can take any option individually, or combine them for a comprehensive approach. This flexibility allows you to choose the level of support that best fits your business - whether it’s one-off clarity, ongoing protection, or building long-term skills.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple - choose the level of support that fits your business:

Book a Sharp Masterclass → Reserve your spot online for the course(s) that suit your schedule and skill needs. Learn practical, high-impact techniques to manage tech contracts confidently.

Enquire about Contract Sharp Support → Set up ongoing oversight for peace of mind. We’ll help you stay ahead of risks, deadlines, and leverage points across all your tech contracts.

From there, you’ll have the clarity, tools, and confidence to protect value, reduce risk, and take control of your tech agreements - whether it’s a one-off report, skill-building masterclasses, or ongoing support.

How is a Contract Sharp Report different from a standard in-house review?

Unlike traditional legal or procurement reviews, a Contract Sharp Report considers how contracts actually work in the real world - well beyond sign-off - and delivers plain-English, actionable insights combined with practical skills you can use immediately to stay on the front foot.

We don’t just view a contract through one lens - we examine the full lifecycle and what you’re truly committing to, so you’re prepared before signing and in control throughout in-flight management.

Our approach combines:

AI-assisted analysis plus expert knowledge to spot risks and opportunities others often miss.
Commercially focused insights that reveal hidden value and leverage, not just legal compliance.
Practical guidance for real-world decisions - so you can negotiate, manage suppliers, and protect your business confidently.
Time-saving clarity - no legal jargon, no long-winded reports, just what matters.

With the Contract Sharp Report, you're not just getting a review; you’re getting a toolkit for smarter decisions, risk reduction, and value capture, backed by years of on-the-ground experience in tech environments. Please note, although we will give you plenty of helpful insights and guidance which will help protect your business, we do not provide legal advice. We recommend that you always consult a legal team before signing any contract.

Is my contract data secure and confidential?

Absolutely. Your contracts are handled securely from start to finish:

Files are stored and shared via secure GDPR-compliant platforms.
Access is restricted to authorised team members only.
Documents are encrypted, securely stored, and deleted once our work is complete.
Any AI-assisted analysis is conducted in a private, secure environment, using only redacted or anonymised data — we never use public AI tools.
Our Terms of Service include an automatic NDA, giving you extra peace of mind.

Bottom line: Your data stays private, secure, and fully under your control. You can request access or deletion at any time under GDPR.
