## Automated Risk Detection Rules

GAAPx flags critical deal parameters that impact cash flow and GAAP compliance:

* **Extended Payment Terms**: Flags payment terms greater than Net 45 for CFO review.
* **Unusual Discounting**: Detects line items discounted more than 30% below catalog list price that could distort Standalone Selling Price (SSP) calculations.
* **Acceptance Clauses**: Identifies subjective customer acceptance clauses that prevent revenue recognition upon delivery under ASC 606 Step 5.
* **Future Product Commitments**: Flags mentions of unreleased roadmap features that could trigger contract carve-outs.
