Shield catches commercial risk while it's still an email: a confirmation today instead of a dispute next quarter.

All your projects. All your risk. One board.

Most directors find out which job is bleeding money at the final account. Shield's board shows every live project ranked by commercial exposure, so the riskiest job is the first thing you see on Monday morning.

Ranked by exposure

Every project scored from its live email traffic — payment pressure, unconfirmed variations, approaching time-bars. Highest risk sits at the top, with the reason next to it.

Silence is a signal

A project that's gone quiet gets flagged too — silent drawing revisions and unanswered notices are how disputes start. The weekly report tells you which jobs need a phone call.

Board to source in two clicks

Click any risk on the board and you're reading the exact email that raised it, with the risky sentences highlighted and the suggested reply alongside.

Evidence captured as it happens, not rebuilt after it goes wrong.

Everyone stores emails. Procore stores them. Aconex stores them. Shield is the only one reading every line as it arrives and saying "this is a verbal instruction — you're exposed; here's the reply you should send." By the time you need the evidence, it's already organised.

Forward your project email

One forwarding address per project. Set a Gmail filter or Outlook rule once and every email from your main contractor arrives in Shield automatically.

AI triages every line

21 commercial risk triggers across money, time, action-needed and safe categories. Variations, time-bars, pay-when-paid, contra-charges, EOT triggers — every one a QS would recognise.

Dispute pack in one click

One click and you get a hash-verified PDF with cover page, evidence timeline and integrity statement. The thing your solicitor actually wants, without the days of inbox archaeology.

Late invoices that get paid 78% faster.

Chasing by phone gets promises. Shield sends your overdue invoice with statutory late-payment wording — interest and compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 — with your evidence trail attached. Paid 78% faster than chasing alone.

The footer that means business

Every overdue invoice carries the statutory wording a QS recognises on sight: the legal right to interest and recovery costs, stated plainly. Not a threat — a fact.

Evidence attached, argument over

The invoice defence pack links the payment application to the instructions, variations and milestones behind it. "We never agreed that" stops working when the agreement is attached.

Due, approaching, overdue

Every invoice tracked against its payment terms on the same board as your risk. You see "approaching overdue" before your cash flow does.

Set up in a morning. Evidence forever.

JCT, NEC and the way main contractors actually behave.

The AI is trained on the language patterns of subcontract correspondence. It knows what a programme impact looks like, what a buried variation reads like, and the difference between a polite request and a contractual notice.

Time-bar awareness

JCT 4.21 notice periods, NEC compensation event windows. If you're approaching a clause deadline, Shield raises it before the clock runs out.

Tone-shift detection

Catches diplomatic openings that bury a threat, false reasonableness, and escalation signals. The bits a solicitor would highlight in yellow.

Every flag explains itself

Each risk cites the clause it relates to and highlights the exact sentences that triggered it. You're never asked to trust a score — you're shown the evidence. AI-generated, not legal advice, and it says so on every result.
