Clause Index

What it does

• Every project reuses a handful of clauses; the rest are noise.
• The index stores eight clauses with their trigger and wording.
• A clause is added only after a project needed it.

How to use it

1. Keep the wording identical across projects so it is familiar.
2. Record the trigger before the wording; the trigger is the reason.
3. Retire clauses that no project has needed for a year.
4. Store the index with the agreement template, not in a notes app.

Safety notes

• A clause you cannot explain to a client is a clause you should not use.
• Do not copy clauses from sources you cannot cite.
