- Highlight aggressive or founder-unfriendly terms
- Note missing standard protections

### Negotiation Support
- Suggest negotiation priorities
- Provide market data for negotiations
- Identify trade-off opportunities
- Model term package alternatives

| Liquidation Preference | 1x non-participating standard | Participating increasingly rare |
| Anti-dilution | Broad-based weighted average | Full ratchet rare |
| Board Composition | Investor minority or balanced | Depends on stage |
| Protective Provisions | Standard set | Watch for unusual vetos |
| Option Pool | 10-15% refresh | Check pre vs. post |

## Integration Points

- **Term Sheet Drafting Process**: Validate generated terms
- **Definitive Document Negotiation**: Support doc negotiations
- **Term Sheet Generator**: Ensure generated terms are standard
- **Term Sheet Negotiator (Agent)**: Support agent negotiations

## Market Data Sources
