How to Score

ClauseWatch BEE Score
Bias. Exposure. Enforceability.

A structured framework for evaluating contractual risk across three dimensions.

Contracts fail when three factors interact:

  1. the extent to which risk is one-sided
  2. the severity of consequences if the clause operates
  3. whether the clause is likely to be enforced in practice

The BEE Score captures all three—separating apparent risk from real, legally effective risk.

The Three Dimensions

1. Bias (B-Score)

How is risk structurally allocated?

  1. Extreme Imbalance
  2. Significantly Unfair
  3. Moderately One-Sided
  4. Slightly Skewed
  5. Balanced

Higher numbers indicate increasing allocation of risk to one party.

2. Exposure (E-Score)

What happens if the clause operates?

  1. Severe / Litigation Likely
  2. High-Risk Outcome
  3. Material Exposure
  4. Manageable Impact
  5. Low Consequence

Higher numbers indicate greater real-world cost, delay, or dispute risk.

3. Enforceability (Enf.)

Is the clause likely to be upheld and applied as written?

  1. Highly likely to be enforced
  2. Generally enforceable
  3. Contestable / uncertain
  4. Legally vulnerable
  5. Unlikely to be enforced

Higher numbers indicate greater likelihood of legal effect.
