Analyze an FDD
The FDD analyzer reads a Franchise Disclosure Document and returns a structured summary: key terms, fees, obligations, and red flags to verify.

Analyses are private to your account.
Every analysis is also checked against Kariant’s curated red-flag pattern library — known problem clauses across fees, territory, termination, and disclosure. Only patterns the document actually evidences are tagged, each with why it matters; nothing is flagged on a guess, and a clean result returns no tags.

What the analyzer is — and is notlink
It is an evaluation accelerator, not legal advice. Always review the actual FDD with a franchise attorney before signing — the Legal Hub includes an attorney directory, and every financial surface links the platform’s disclosure pages (/fdd-notice, /earnings-policy, /disclaimer, /risk-disclosure).
Frequently asked questions
What file types are supported?expand_more
PDF. Large documents work — processing time scales with document size.
Who can see my analysis?expand_more
Only you (and platform administrators for support purposes). Analyses are stored per-account and are not shared with franchisors.
Is there a limit?expand_more
No fixed cap — analysis is metered like other document AI. A free tier is included; heavier usage meters Koins per run.
