Drop in the LOI, the purchase & sale agreement, or the ground lease. In about 90 seconds you get a one-page, plain-English risk report — read on behalf of the buyer or tenant, every finding with the exact clause and page so you can verify it yourself.
No card to try it · Not legal advice · You're always one click from the source language
An "non-binding" LOI that quietly binds you. A diligence clock already running while you wait on the title work. Earnest money that goes hard before you've confirmed the drive-thru is even allowed. Uncapped CAM, a full-term personal guaranty, assignment blocked at the landlord's whim. Reading 60 pages of ground lease properly means a $400/hour real estate attorney or a week you don't have — so the deal moves and the traps stay buried.
LOI, PSA, or commercial / ground lease — PDF or DOCX, up to 150 pages. Scanned copies are OCR'd automatically, and every finding keeps its page number.
A risk checklist built for commercial real estate runs against every section — read on behalf of the buyer or tenant, catching the terms that actually move money.
Findings grouped by risk, each with a plain-English summary, the exact quote, the page, and a recommended ask. Plus chat to dig into any clause.
Sightline reads the deal the way a sharp commercial real estate attorney would — on your side of the table, surfaced in seconds, in plain English.
You personally guarantee every dollar of rent for the entire ten-year term. There's no burn-off after a few years of on-time payment, and no cap on the amount — if the business fails in year eight, the landlord can come after you personally for the remaining rent.
Negotiate a burn-off: cap the guaranty at 12–24 months of rent and have it expire after 36 months of no defaults. At minimum, ask for a fixed dollar cap instead of full-term exposure.

Every finding links to the exact quote and page. Nothing is taken on faith — you verify it in the document.
Sightline surfaces risk and shows you the language. For anything consequential, your attorney makes the call.
The checklist is tuned to LOIs, purchase & sale agreements, and commercial leases — read on behalf of the buyer or tenant, not a generic catch-all.
