Your lease is 30 pages of legal language written by your landlord's attorney. LiabilityScore™ reads all of it in 60 seconds and tells you exactly what to worry about and what to do. This is what it analyzes, how it scores leases, and why it was built.
LiabilityScore™ Was Built Because Lease Risk Is Systematically Underestimated
Commercial and residential tenants sign leases under time pressure, without legal expertise, and against parties who negotiate leases for a living. The result is predictable: tenants agree to provisions that carry significant financial risk — holdover clauses at 200%, personal guarantees covering full lease terms, one-way attorney fees provisions — without fully understanding what they've committed to. LiabilityScore™ was built to change this equation: affordable, fast, plain-English risk analysis that gives tenants the same information advantage that experienced commercial real estate attorneys have.
How LiabilityScore™ Analyzes Your Lease
Upload your lease (PDF, Word, or image format). LiabilityScore™'s AI analyzes the document against a database of risk-rated lease provisions, identifies every clause that falls outside tenant-favorable norms, and generates a risk assessment for each. The analysis covers: holdover rate and grace period; auto-renewal window and landlord notice obligations; early termination rights and costs; personal guaranty scope and limitations; CAM caps and exclusion lists; attorney fees direction and magnitude; landlord entry rights; arbitration and jury waiver provisions; and dozens of other high-impact provisions. The full analysis is available in minutes.
The LiabilityScore™ Risk Rating System
Each identified provision receives a risk rating: High (significant financial exposure or rights limitation that should be addressed before signing); Medium (provision deviates from tenant-favorable norms but is within common market range); Low (provision is standard or tenant-favorable). The overall LiabilityScore™ aggregates individual provision scores into a single 0–100 risk rating. Scores above 70 indicate high overall risk with multiple provisions requiring attention before signing. Scores between 40–70 indicate moderate risk typical of most commercial leases. Scores below 40 indicate a relatively tenant-favorable document. The score is a starting point for prioritizing negotiation, not a binary pass/fail.
What LiabilityScore™ Is and What It Isn't
LiabilityScore™ is a risk identification and analysis tool — it reads your lease and tells you what to pay attention to. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Complex lease negotiations, multi-location commercial transactions, and situations involving existing disputes require a qualified real estate attorney who understands your specific situation, your state's laws, and the full commercial context. LiabilityScore™ gives you the information you need to identify which provisions require attorney attention — so you're not paying attorney rates to find the provisions, only to analyze and negotiate them. This is more efficient and less expensive than traditional lease review for most tenants.
Starting Is Free — No Credit Card Required
LiabilityScore™ is free to start. Upload your lease, get your risk score and a summary of flagged provisions. Full plain-English explanations of every flagged clause, negotiation suggestions, and the complete risk report are available with a subscription. For tenants signing leases over $30,000/year in rent — essentially any commercial lease and many residential leases in major markets — the cost of a LiabilityScore™ analysis is a small fraction of the financial risk being assessed. Before you sign anything, run it through LiabilityScore™.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a LiabilityScore™ a legal opinion?
- No. LiabilityScore™ is a risk assessment tool, not legal advice. The score and report identify risk factors and suggest improvements but do not replace review by a qualified attorney who understands your specific situation, jurisdiction, and business needs.
- What types of leases can LiabilityScore™ analyze?
- LiabilityScore™ is designed for residential and commercial leases including office, retail, industrial, restaurant, and mixed-use properties. It also handles lease addenda, guaranty agreements, and sublease agreements.
- How accurate is LiabilityScore™?
- The scoring system is trained on thousands of commercial and residential leases and calibrated against known risk factors and dispute outcomes. Like any analytical tool, it reflects the quality and breadth of its training data. It is not infallible, which is why significant red flags should always be reviewed by a licensed attorney.
