What is TrustMark™:
Independent
Contract Benchmarking
TrustMark™ is TermScout's independent contract benchmarking that verifies whether a commercial contract meets recognized standards for fairness, transparency, and balanced legal terms.
TrustMark™ helps organizations demonstrate contract trustworthiness, reduce negotiation friction, and build confidence with customers, vendors, and business partners.
TrustMark™ bencchmarking is powered by Certify™, TermScout’s contract intelligence system for analysis, benchmarking, and contract signals.
What Is TrustMark™ Benchmarking?
TrustMark™ benchmarking is an independent benchmarking of your standard agreements against real-world contract standards.
Using Certify™, TermScout analyzes and benchmarks your contracts against thousands of real-world agreements to determine whether your terms are fair, balanced, and market-aligned.
If your contract meets those standards, it earns TrustMark™ benchmarking, an external signal of deal-readiness you can share with customers, prospects, and partners.
