Risk Assessment Tool
Describe your business. The tool scores your legal exposure across contracts, employment, IP, partners, and compliance — ranked by severity, with specific next steps.
Each tool handles one decision a small business actually faces — before you sign, hire, partner, or let something escalate. Free to start. No credit card.
Each tool handles one critical decision an Ontario small business actually faces. Built around the four "before" moments — act, sign, hire, restructure, or escalate. Wizards run initial mapping instantly; licensed lawyers review and authorize every final report.
Describe your business. The tool scores your legal exposure across contracts, employment, IP, partners, and compliance — ranked by severity, with specific next steps.
Share the contract you're reviewing or the arrangement you need documented. The tool identifies every gap, missing protection, and red flag — before you sign anything.
Describe the decision and who else is involved. The tool surfaces the case for, the case against, the unknowns that need answers, and the agreements worth putting in place.
Describe the hire. The tool covers role clarity, classification, the first 30 days, access risks, and every agreement that needs to be signed before anyone starts.
Describe how your business makes money. The tool identifies gaps in your current model and surfaces revenue structures better suited to your business.
Describe the situation. The tool builds a negotiation brief — what to find out, how to read the responses, and when to stop and call Signal.
Your lawyer reads your dispute brief before the call. The tool organizes your account — parties, timeline, what went wrong, what you want — into a structured brief your Signal lawyer reads before the consultation.
Honest limits, named upfront. Signal's whole point is judgment that's accountable — so we tell you where a Tool isn't the right answer.
