| Date | NDA | Role | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-02-13 | Supplier NDA | Disclosing Party | 78.5% | Good |
| 2026-02-20 | Consultant NDA | Receiving Party | 61.0% | Moderate |

Each clause area is scored from 0–5 and multiplied by a weight. Weighted points are summed, divided by the maximum possible points, then converted to a percentage.
Critical penalties apply when core items are missing, such as execution or basic security duties.
This calculator converts qualitative NDA review into a repeatable percentage. Each clause area is rated from 0 to 5 and multiplied by a weight that reflects practical risk. Core controls like confidentiality definition, use limits, security duties, and return or destruction contribute more points than optional items. The output helps reviewers prioritize fixes when time is limited, and it makes team scoring consistent across reviewers and business units.
Disclosures usually fail through unclear scope, weak “need‑to‑know” sharing, or missing safeguards. The model therefore gives higher influence to scope clarity, permitted purpose, exclusions, and security obligations. Execution status is treated as a critical gate because unsigned drafts may not be enforceable. If your organization relies on templates, the same weights can highlight which template clauses deserve the most attention during updates.
The adjusted score subtracts penalties when essential protections are absent. For example, a missing signature, a very weak confidentiality definition, or no security duties will reduce the final percentage even if other clauses look acceptable. This mirrors review practice: a single critical omission can outweigh several minor improvements. Use the critical flags list as a first-pass remediation checklist, then rerun the score after redlines to confirm the impact.
When teams record results over time, the history export becomes an evidence trail for governance. You can compare scores across suppliers, consultants, and partners, then set internal targets, such as a minimum 70% for routine sharing and 85% for high‑sensitivity projects. The recommendations list can be converted into standardized redlines and short training modules for reviewers. Over several quarters, score trends can indicate whether partner onboarding controls and reviewer coaching are working.
A numerical score is most valuable when paired with context. Industry, jurisdiction, trade secret sensitivity, and regulatory constraints can change what “good” looks like. Use the calculator to speed up first review, align stakeholders, and document decisions, then confirm final language with counsel. Consistent scoring improves collaboration, reduces review time, and strengthens confidentiality hygiene. For complex deals, attach the PDF to your contract record so future renewals start with clear, documented rationale.
0 means the clause is missing. 3 indicates adequate standard language. 5 reflects strong, specific obligations with clear definitions, timelines, and enforcement wording.
Critical penalties apply when essential protections are missing, such as no signature, weak definition, unclear purpose, minimal security duties, or no return or destroy requirement.
Not necessarily. One-way agreements fit situations where only one party discloses. The calculator slightly favors mutual forms, but clause quality still drives most of the score.
Many teams set 70% for routine collaboration and 85% for high-sensitivity work. Adjust targets based on data type, partner maturity, and project risk.
No. It provides structured, repeatable screening and documentation. Final enforceability depends on jurisdiction, facts, drafting, and execution. Use counsel for final approval.
