Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A web-based tool that allows users to input their contract type and country to generate a checklist of legally required or standard clauses to look for.
  2. A crowdsourced database of 'standard' contract templates by country and industry to help professionals benchmark their offers.
