For founders building SaaS or AI products

Before you spend the next six months building, find out if the model can legally launch.

The AI & SaaS Legal Viability Sprint is a written risk assessment and prioritized roadmap — for products in regulated industries, handling sensitive data, or assisting with consequential decisions.

Written assessment in 7 business days — or it's free. Later than that, we pay you.

You're about to invest real money and time. You don't yet know —

  • Whether part of the business model creates a regulatory problem
  • Whether the product performs a reserved or regulated activity
  • Whether its AI-assisted outputs create additional obligations or liability
  • Whether the intended collection and use of data is legally supportable
  • Which legal documents and operational safeguards are required before launch
  • Which risks matter now, and which can safely wait
Before you keep asking a chatbot

AI can summarize the rules you already knew to look up. It can't tell you what you missed — and it can't answer for being wrong.

What AI tools are genuinely good for

  • Summarizing a regulation once you know to look it up
  • Drafting a first-pass policy from a generic template
  • Explaining a legal term in plain language

What only a lawyer can do

  • Assume professional responsibility for the conclusion — no model, and no vendor behind it, will ever answer for being wrong
  • Identify the questions you didn't know to ask, because it doesn't know your complete business model — only the prompt you typed
  • Hold what you disclose under solicitor-client privilege, instead of a vendor's terms of service
  • Know when a rule that looks generic actually turns on Quebec-specific regulation

Not outside counsel guessing at your business. Someone who's sat inside one.

  • Québec-licensed lawyer since 2018. Nearly eight years of practice, six of them focused on technology and commercial law.

  • In-house counsel at technology companies since 2020. Not an external advisor parachuted in — embedded inside Product, Sales, and Marketing, seeing decisions get made before legal is even in the room.

  • Negotiated strategic commercial agreements from the inside — the enterprise MSAs, DPAs, and security reviews this sprint is built to anticipate, not just review after the fact.

  • Bilingual practice (EN/FR). Built for founders operating under Quebec's regulatory regime.

What you get: a roadmap, not just a warning

Every risk and requirement is placed on a timeline, so you know what to act on now and what can wait.

Before continuing

Development-blocking issues

Changes to the model itself, before more engineering time goes in.

Before launch

Launch requirements

Contracts, policies, and consents that must exist before your first customer.

After launch

Near-term follow-through

Controls and processes to have in place shortly after going live.

As you scale

Growth-triggered items

Obligations that activate as headcount, revenue, or data volume grow.

You're not left waiting a week to find out something's wrong.

Within 48 hours

Red-flag call

A short call to name anything that changes what you build next — before the full written roadmap is even finished.

By day 7

Full written roadmap

The complete assessment, prioritized and documented — or you don't pay for it. See the guarantee below.

The sprint

Delivered in writing, within seven business days.

01

Launch viability assessment

A clear answer: can the proposed model launch as planned, and if not, what has to change.

02

Material risk identification

The legal and regulatory risks that actually matter for this business, not a generic checklist.

03

Product & business model recommendations

Specific changes to workflows, claims, or the model itself to reduce exposure.

04

Prioritized roadmap

Before continuing development, before launch, after launch, as you scale.

05

Required documents & controls list

Contracts, policies, consents, and internal processes you'll need — and when.

06

60-minute strategy call + follow-up round

We walk through the conclusions together, then one round of follow-up questions.

What this doesn't cost you

The sprint is built so the only real commitment is the decision to start it.

Money

One fixed price

$3,500 CAD, quoted once. No hourly meter, no surprise invoice, no scope creep on the sprint itself.

Time

Roughly 90 minutes of yours

One intake checklist, one 48-hour call, one 60-minute strategy call. The analysis work happens on our side, not yours.

Direction

You're never guessing what to send

A plain-language intake checklist tells you exactly what "the necessary information" means before day one starts.

Confidentiality

Solicitor-client privilege, not just "confidential"

What you share is protected by privilege, not a discretionary NDA — a materially stronger protection for early-stage business plans.

Commitment

No retainer required

The sprint stands on its own. Nothing here obligates you into a monthly package afterward.

Speed

Backed by the guarantee below

If the timeline slips, you're compensated for it automatically — you don't have to ask.

Pricing
$3,500 CAD, paid upfront

+ applicable taxes

You’ll have your written assessment within seven business days. If it takes me longer than that, it’s free — and if I go past ten, I’ll send you $500 for the wait on top.
Start the sprint

This is for you if

  • You have a reasonably developed business or product concept
  • You're actively building, fundraising, contracting, or preparing to launch
  • You expect to invest meaningful money into the company
  • You operate in or sell into Quebec or Canada
  • You’re building SaaS, AI, marketplace, fintech, healthtech, HR tech, legaltech, or another potentially regulated product

This isn't for you if

  • It's a weekend idea with no business planning behind it yet
  • You're not in a position to invest in professional advice right now
  • You want a guarantee that the model is legally viable, not an honest assessment
  • Nothing about the product touches regulation, sensitive data, or consequential decisions

Still not sure which side you’re on?

Book a free 30-minute call. We'll talk through your product and figure out honestly whether the sprint is the right fit — no pressure either way.
