Know if you're being lowballed. Catch whitelisting, exclusivity, and usage traps before you sign.
Then get the exact counter to send back.
Creators score the deals they get. Brands earn the Verified standard by sending clear ones. Both sides, one shared language for a deal.
Not a one-off summary from a generic AI tool: every deal you score is kept in your dashboard timeline, alongside creator-reported reputation scores for the brands you work with — so you can see whether an offer is better than your last one, and whether the brand actually pays.
- No credit card
- Score in 60 seconds
- Private upload
No credit card. Score in 60 seconds. Private upload.
Worried that asking for changes kills the deal? It doesn't. Brands send templated offers expecting a counter — Black X writes one that fixes the terms and keeps the relationship.
Generic AI reads the document in front of it. Black X knows creator deals — whitelisting traps, exclusivity windows, kill-fee gaps, Net 60 payment delays — because it was built for this, not for generic contracts.
New:What is Black X?Black X Clarity ScoreCreator Contract Review
Multiple negotiation risks found
- Usage rights are too broad
- Payment timing is unclear
- Exclusivity may block future deals
- No cancellation or kill-fee protection
A deal risk checker for creator contracts, briefs, emails, PDFs, and screenshots
Black X reads any brand deal — a contract, campaign brief, email, PDF, or screenshot — and returns a Clarity Score in about 60 seconds. It flags unclear payment terms, broad usage rights, vague scope, undefined timelines, one-sided termination clauses, and ambiguous ownership before you sign, then drafts a professional counter that fixes the terms without risking the relationship.
- How much does it cost?
- Scoring your first deals is free — no credit card, private upload. Paid tiers add unlimited scoring, deal history, and the Deal Gateway. Black X takes 0% of your creator fee, always.
- Is my contract kept private?
- Yes. Uploads are private to your account, never shared, never used to train public models, and you can delete any deal at any time. Brands only see the terms you choose to send them.
- Is the score legal advice?
- No. The Clarity Score is an informational clarity signal across six dimensions — payment, usage rights, scope, timeline, termination, and ownership. It informs your decision; it does not replace a lawyer.
applications open — places are limited
Founding members get their Clarity Scores, deal history and Verified templates before public launch. We publish only real numbers: if a counter is not shown, it is because there is nothing real to show yet.

Three things no rate calculator gives you
Black X is deal infrastructure, not a middleman. You keep the relationship, the fee, and the final call.
take rate
A talent manager takes 15–20% of the deal. Black X takes 0%. On a $10,000 campaign that is $2,000 that stays with you. We charge for the software, never for your fee.
Both sides of the deal
Creators score the deals they get. Brands send deals that are already clear. Same six dimensions, same score, one shared language — so nobody argues about what "usage rights" meant after the content is live.
A standard brands respect
The Verified badge on your rate card says your terms are defined: scope, usage window, pay date, kill fee. It is how you show a brand partnerships lead you run a real business, not a side hustle. See the Verified standard.
Made for
- Creators negotiating their own brand deals, with no manager and no lawyer on call
- UGC creators pricing usage windows, whitelisting, and exclusivity
- Small brand and agency teams sending creator offers without a legal queue
Not right for
- Creators whose manager or agent already negotiates and redlines every deal
- Enterprise brands whose in-house legal team drafts every creator contract
- Anyone who needs legal advice — Black X flags unclear terms, it is not a law firm
Clarity only compounds when both sides use it
Creators score the deals they receive. Brands earn Verified status by sending clear ones. Every scored deal makes the next one easier to read — for everyone.

Bad deals look fine until the terms are tested.
A brand deal can look simple on the surface, but vague language can decide whether you get paid on time, whether your content can run in paid ads, whether you are locked out of future deals, and whether the brand can keep using your work long after the campaign ends.
Payment risk
Net 60, unclear payment triggers, missing deposits, and no late-payment protection can leave creators waiting after the work is already done.
Usage rights risk
Perpetual usage, paid ads, whitelisting, sublicensing, and broad platform rights can turn one campaign into long-term unpaid brand value.
Scope creep risk
Undefined deliverables, unlimited revisions, vague posting requirements, and unclear approval windows can create extra unpaid work.
Brands win when deals are clearer too.
Unclear creator agreements do not just hurt creators. They slow down campaigns, create approval confusion, increase revision cycles, delay content delivery, and expose brands to usage-rights disputes after launch.
Black X gives brands and creators a shared clarity standard before the campaign starts, so both sides know what is included, what is not, and what needs to be resolved before signing.
Black X is not anti-brand. It is anti-ambiguity.
Fewer campaign delays
Clear scope, timelines, approval windows, and deliverables reduce back-and-forth before content goes live.
Cleaner usage rights
Brands can confirm exactly where, how, and for how long content can be used across organic, paid, whitelisting, and repurposing channels.
Less negotiation friction
A shared score gives both sides a neutral starting point instead of vague redlines or emotional pushback.
Lower dispute risk
Clear payment, cancellation, revision, and ownership terms reduce surprises after work begins.
Better creator relationships
Creators are more likely to trust brands that make expectations clear upfront.
What Black X checks before you sign
Black X reviews the parts of a creator-brand agreement that most often create payment, usage, ownership, and workload risk.
Clarity in four steps
Black X brings structure and clarity to creator-brand deals. Here's how we do it.
Upload your deal
Drop in a contract, brand email, PDF, screenshot, draft agreement, or campaign brief.
Get your Clarity Score
Black X scores the deal across six creator risk dimensions in about 60 seconds.
Review what is risky
See what is clear, what is vague, and what needs clarification before you sign.
Negotiate with confidence
Use your score and risk notes to ask sharper questions and protect your creator business.
Send terms brands respect — then watch what happens
Scoring a deal is the start. The Gateway is how the deal actually moves: one private link, tracked views, and a written response you can point to later.
- Generate a private linkAny deal becomes a tokenized, revocable Gateway link — no PDFs, no email chains.
- See every viewKnow when the brand opened it, how many times, and when full terms were unlocked.
- Get the response in writingAccept, negotiate, or decline happens inside the Gateway, logged against the original terms.
This is what Verified looks like in the wild
The Verified standard is not a marketing line. It appears on the deal a brand sends, on the brand's public profile, and on the rate card a creator shares — so both sides recognize clear terms on sight.
- Avg. clarity
- 88
- Pays on time
- Net 15
Illustrative examples. The Verified standard describes contract clarity and payment terms — it is not legal advice and does not guarantee a brand's conduct.
A score with six dimensions beats a colour and a range
Most tools hand you a red/amber/green flag or a "fair range" number. Neither tells you which clause to change. The Clarity Score scores six dimensions, shows the reasoning, and moves when you renegotiate.
| Capability | Black X Clarity Score | Colour-coded risk flags | Fair-range rate tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six scored dimensions (payment, scope, usage, timeline, termination, ownership) | Yes | Partial | No |
| Explains why each clause scored the way it did | Yes | Partial | No |
| Re-score after you negotiate, with a visible delta | Yes | No | No |
| Shareable, trackable link to send the brand | Yes | No | No |
| Brand-side Verified standard both parties see | Yes | No | No |
| Takes a cut of your creator fee | No | No | Partial |
Comparison of category approaches, not a claim about any specific product's current feature set. Black X is neutral and does not provide legal conclusions.
A summary is not a score.
General AI tools can read a contract. They can't tell you how this deal compares to the last one, whether the brand pays on time, or what to send back. Black X is built for creator deals specifically — scored, tracked, and deliberately free of legal conclusions.
Black X reports whether terms are present and clear. It does not interpret law, predict outcomes, or replace a lawyer.
Managers take 10–20%. Black X takes none of your fee.
Black X is a flat tool, not a cut of your income. You keep 100% of every deal you sign, and payments move brand → creator directly — Black X never holds your money.
- No commission on any deal, at any tier.
- No exclusivity, no roster, no long-term contract with us.
- Funds move through the regulated payment processor, not through us.
Illustrative example using a common management commission range. Subscription pricing applies on paid tiers.

A low score does not automatically mean the deal is bad. It means important terms may be vague, missing, or worth negotiating before you commit.
