A tightly defined first step
What one $250 audit covers
The unit is a distinct price-adjustment mechanism - not the number of pages in the agreement.
Quoted separately
Broader work stays visibly out of scope.
- Multiple formulas or contracts
- Historical lookbacks across periods
- Invoice, SKU, or revenue-population testing
- Clause drafting, negotiation, or legal interpretation
- Ongoing index monitoring
If an agreement contains separate steel, labor, and freight mechanisms, PriceClause confirms the count and a flat bundle price before work begins.
Simple by design
From redacted clause to defensible answer
Send the essentials
Share the operative clause, formula inputs, adjustment date, and your current result. Remove everything else.
We independently verify
PriceClause checks the public index, periods, weights, lag, caps, floors, rounding, and calculation order.
Receive the audit
Within two business days, receive a short report with the audited result, differences, impact illustration, and next actions.
Six mechanical checks
Small inputs can create large pricing differences.
Published indices are revised, clauses use different averaging windows and lags, and caps or floors can change the result. The audit makes every step visible.
Index and series
Is the exact published series the clause requires being used?
Base and current periods
Do the dates, averaging window, and publication lag match?
Formula mechanics
Are weights, fixed portions, and index movements applied correctly?
Guardrails
Are caps, floors, thresholds, and rounding handled in the right order?
Effective timing
Does the adjustment apply on the contractually correct date?
Current result
Does an independent calculation agree with the price being applied?

Redaction and confidentiality
PriceClause does not need your full contract.
Send only the operative clause and the inputs required to reproduce the calculation. Submitted materials are used only to prepare the requested review and are not included in samples or marketing.
Remove before sending
- Customer and supplier names
- Contract and purchase-order numbers
- Products, part numbers, and signatures
- Prices, volumes, and unrelated terms
Keep only what drives the math:operative clause, exact index reference, base and current periods, adjustment date, formula weights, caps, floors, lags, and rounding.
