A full Offer Letter Clarity report on a realistic Series C startup offer, non-compete in a borderline state, a 24-month signing-bonus clawback, mandatory arbitration, and equity that sounds great until you look at the exercise window. Every section and plain-English callout is what you'd get on your own offer.

Fictional offer letter. Names, numbers, and clauses are illustrative. Real reports mirror the structure exactly.

What's in the sample

This offer is a realistic worst-case for a mid-senior IC hire: a 24-month signing-bonus clawback, a non-compete in a borderline state, mandatory arbitration with no carve-outs, and a 90-day post-termination option exercise window buried in the stock plan.

Candidate-friendly score

A 0–100 score (higher = better for you) with a labeled gauge, Predatory, Tough, Standard, Strong, or Exceptional, so you know the headline in five seconds.

Severity-rated red flags

Every red flag tagged High / Medium / Low with a plain-English explanation and a direct quote from the offer so you know exactly what triggered it.

Equity reality check

Type (ISO/NSO/RSU), vesting schedule, cliff, double-trigger acceleration, post-termination exercise window, and dilution risk, all in plain English.

Restrictive covenant breakdown

Non-compete, non-solicit, IP assignment, and moonlighting clauses, each with enforceability flags specific to your state.

Dispute resolution analysis

Mandatory arbitration, class-action waivers, jury-trial waivers, and choice-of-law gaming, plus which rights you'd be waiving and which are preserved.

Jurisdiction notes

Non-compete enforceability and arbitration considerations for your state, CA voids most non-competes, WA has a salary threshold, MA has the Material Change Doctrine.

Questions to ask before you sign

3–5 specific pushback items you can bring to your recruiter: clawback shortening, equity timeline, option exercise extension, and more.
