What Is the Certified Contract Report (CCR) Page—and Why It Matters?

When deals stall at the contract stage, it’s often due to a lack of visibility or trust. The Certified Contract Report (CCR) solves this by providing a clear, third-party summary of your contract—hosted by TermScout and designed for your prospective customers.

Through TermScout’s contract certification process, your agreement is independently evaluated against objective, data-driven standards derived from thousands of publicly available contracts in our database. If it meets market standards, it receives one of the following certifications: Balanced contract or Customer-favorable contract.

This third-party certification signals fairness and transparency—building trust with buyers before questions even arise.

Once certified, your contract is published on a Certified Contract Report (CCR) page: a public-facing summary that gives prospective customers instant clarity on your terms. It’s designed to:

• Establish trust and transparency
  
  
• Eliminate contract friction
  
  
• Help sales teams accelerate deal cycles
  

In short, the CCR page transforms your contract into a strategic sales asset backed with data proving your terms are market-ready and helping buyers move forward with confidence

The Certified Contract Report (CCR) isn’t just a summary—it’s a sales asset. Each section is designed to remove friction, reduce uncertainty, and give buyers the confidence to say “yes” faster. Here’s how each part of the CCR supports that outcome:

1. Build Instant Confidence

TermScout’s algorithmic favorability ratings show how balanced your contract is for both parties. Backed by market data and verified by legal experts, these scores give buyers immediate assurance that your terms are fair—reducing back-and-forth and accelerating decision-making.

2. Show Where You Stand in the Market

Buyers want to know how your terms compare to others in your space. The CCR shows exactly how your contract stacks up against similar agreements—filtered by role, industry, and type—so your sales team can confidently answer, “Yes, this is standard.” Even better, if your contract ranks higher in customer favorability, the CCR highlights that advantage—proving that your terms aren’t just market-aligned, but more buyer-friendly than your competitors’.

3. Replace Guesswork with Proof

Every clause in your agreement is benchmarked against thousands of contracts in TermScout’s Contract Market Database™. Instead of relying on opinions or assumptions, your buyer gets objective data that proves your terms align with what’s normal—and fair—across the market.

Companies like Workato, Freshworks, and Lenovo are already using CCRs to streamline buyer decisions and move faster.

The CCR gives buyers a faster path to clarity—and gives sellers a trust-building advantage. It transforms uncertainty into confidence using contract data, not legal guesswork. [Explore Certify™ and Get Started
