Yc SaaS Drafter

Output Requirements

The final .docx must read like a lawyer drafted it. The output must contain:

• Zero YC drafting annotations (*[Note:...]*, *[OPTIONAL:...]*)
• Zero placeholder scaffolding ([OPTIONAL] markers, option guides)
• Zero unfilled template brackets — except deliberate [TBD — description] markers for values the user couldn't provide, documented in the memo

The agreement title is "Customer Agreement" — NOT "SaaS Services Agreement".

If any annotation, note, or non-TBD bracket appears in the output, the draft is not ready. Fix it before delivering.

Workflow

Step 1: Load References

Before asking any questions, read all three reference files:

• references/intake-questions.md — 15 question groups with branching and defaults
• references/decision-matrix.md — maps answers to YC template actions (18 always-apply defaults, 12 conditional decisions, variable substitutions, raise-with-lawyer flags)
• references/supplementary-language.md — pre-written clause text anchored by ID (always-apply blocks and conditional blocks)

The decision matrix tells you WHAT to change. The supplementary language gives you the EXACT TEXT to insert. Do not improvise contract language — if the matrix says to insert #DATA-PRIVACY, use the verbatim text from supplementary-language.md. The ONE exception is Order Form Service Fees, where the LLM composes from fee pattern examples.

Step 2: Run Intake

Follow the questions in references/intake-questions.md in order. Apply branching logic (e.g., skip implementation fee if no implementation, skip pilot details if no pilot, skip service capacity if flat pricing).

Key principles:

• Offer defaults but let the user override
• Use [TBD — description] for any value the user can't provide yet
• Confirm all decisions in a summary before proceeding (template at the end of intake-questions.md)
• Do NOT proceed to document assembly without user confirmation

Step 3: Produce the Agreement

Read the YC template from assets/YC_Form_SaaS_Agreement.docx.

Apply modifications in this order:

First — Always-apply defaults (decision-matrix.md Section A, items A1-A18):

1. Rename Order Form title → "Order Form Number One"
2. Rename "SaaS Services Agreement" → "Customer Agreement" throughout
3. Update preamble date year
4. Section 1.1 SLA reference — remove [OPTIONAL], always on
5. Section 1.2 — change "Exhibit C" to "Exhibit B"
6. Section 2.2 — strip export controls note (keep the language)
7. Section 2.3 — delete customer indemnity clause + note entirely
8. Section 2.5 — insert #DATA-PRIVACY (new section)
9. Section 3.3 — remove optional framing (keep analytics language)
10. Section 6 — restructure into 6.1/6.2/6.3: insert #WARRANTY-REMEDY, #CUSTOMER-WARRANTY, #BETA-DISCLAIMER
11. Section 7 — remove optional note, remove "United States" from patent scope
12. Section 8 — strip negotiation note
13. Section 9 — replace YC press release language with #MARKETING-DEFAULT
14. Exhibits — replace B + C with #EXHIBIT-B-CONSOLIDATED, delete Exhibit C
15. Strip ALL remaining annotations and notes

Second — Conditional decisions (decision-matrix.md Section B, items B1-B12): Walk through each conditional decision. For each, look up the intake answer and apply the specified action. When the matrix references supplementary language (e.g., #NO-AUTO-RENEWAL), use the verbatim text.

Third — Variable substitutions (decision-matrix.md Section C): Replace all YC placeholders with intake values. Any field not collected → [TBD — description].

Fourth — Cleanup:

• Remove any surviving annotations, brackets, or drafting guidance
• Remove empty paragraphs left by deleted sections
• Verify section numbering is sequential (especially after §2.5 addition and §6 restructure into 6.1/6.2/6.3)
• Verify no non-TBD brackets remain

DocX formatting notes:

• Exhibit B credit table MUST be a proper Word table, not inline text
• Exhibit B communication channels MUST be a proper Word table
• Section 6 subsections (6.1, 6.2, 6.3) need proper heading formatting
• Section 6.3 (Beta Products) must be ALL CAPS

Produce the output as a .docx file: [CompanyName]_[CustomerName]_Customer_Agreement_DRAFT.docx
