A contract that agrees with itself
Payment is 30 days in three clauses - and 14 in a fourth. Caught before the client signs.
THE SITUATION
A new client. The terms are in their brief, an email thread, and your last contract - the one you always reuse. That is how an old term survives: the new payment term goes in, the old late-payment clause stays.

Recorded in RealEntity on the free plan. The brief, the emails and the old contract are sample documents. The contract and the findings are the app's own, unedited.
How RealEntity does it
The brief, the emails and your old contract in one Project - the sources the contract cites.
The contract drafted as a Paper with the new terms, each one citing where it was agreed.
The checks read clause against clause and name every place a term is stated twice with two values - the payment period, the hourly rate, the number of revision rounds.
Three real leaks from the old contract, each one found in the clauses themselves - not guessed from the brief.
Built with sample material - invented documents and people, no real person's data.
