TLDRs in Agreements

Hey everyone, I'm working on Claver, an Agreements Management SaaS. The aim is to make Agreements beyond just legal protection - they are used to build better relationships between reputed people & biz's.

That's the product concept. But what I'm hoping to seek your thoughts around is this particular FEATURE: have TLDR summaries for key sections of an Agreement. For example, a 3-page NDA is condensed into 3-5 key sentences for human readability reasons.

Genuinely seeking feedback and not a ploy to get sign ups. In fact you don't even have to sign up if you don't want to - I've put some screenshots and background info in this 3-minute blog post:

What do you think? Useful or useless? Certain aspects can be better? Let me know either way. Roast it if you must. DM on Twitter if you want to keep it private.

Thanks in advance if you are reading this!

    Hey Kevin, as a lawyer, from my experience I can tell you that users find it useful. They won't tell you they want it, but when you show it to them, they'll be impressed.
    Also from my experience, users don't provide feedback on legal industry products. I have no idea why. It's frustrating.

      Thanks @petartod! Was starting to think nobody really cares about this until you replied. My in-person consultations with users are very much what you said - they are way more interested after seeing the TLDR.

      My interim conclusion now is that TLDR will be a core product feature, although then generating the templates & 'correct TLDR content' would be a bottleneck further along.

      As for Tech x Legal feedbacks, I totally get you. I suppose it's a bit like dental braces - nobody is going to talk about what would like for their braces, but you'll know it if it sucked, but it'll be too late cos the braces are already fitted in.
