- **Governing law:** [Jurisdiction]
- **Term:** [Duration of obligations]

### 2. Definition of Confidential Information
- **How broadly defined?** Narrow / Standard / Very broad
- **Oral disclosures included?** Yes / No / With conditions
- **Standard exclusions present?** [public domain, prior knowledge, independently developed, legally required disclosure]
- **Flag:** [Unusual inclusions or missing exclusions]

### 3. Key Clause Analysis

**[Clause name] — Concern / Watch / Standard**
