The FDD Red-Flag Lens

For franchise buyers

A fillable worksheet that walks you through the sections of a Franchise Disclosure Document that actually matter: fixed thresholds, a mechanical verdict, and the phone script worth more than all of it.

Built for people signing things they've never signed before.

Big decisions arrive as big documents: a franchise disclosure, a construction contract, a change order, a pay application. The people selling you those documents understand them; you usually don't. Our documents close that gap.

  • For franchise and business buyers: diligence worksheets that turn a 900-page disclosure into a scored checklist. The Lens is first; more are coming.
  • For building owners: the owner's-side construction toolkit below — change orders, pay applications, closeout — from our consulting practice.
  • Built to order: if the document you need doesn't exist, we make it. Fixed quote up front.

The standard, for everything we publish: every claim cites its source so you can verify it without trusting us, and a free worked example is available on request before you spend a dollar.
