Pick your state — and paste your clause to rank the most similar rulings first. Your clause text never leaves your browser.

Important: This is an automated, informational early-warning signal derived from primary sources. It is NOT legal advice and creates no attorney-client relationship. Enforceability is fact- and jurisdiction-specific and changes over time; consult a licensed attorney before acting.

How it works

No accounts, no fluff. Three steps to a grounded answer you can actually check.

01

Pick your state & paste the clause

Restrictive-covenant law is decided state by state. Tell us where, and optionally drop in your wording.

02

See the real rulings

We surface how courts there actually treated comparable non-competes — enforced, struck, or narrowed — with the operative sentence quoted verbatim.

03

Verify at the source

Every holding links to the original court opinion. Nothing is invented — if we don't have a verified ruling for your state, we say so plainly.

Why ClauseDelta is different

Most tools check your contract against a frozen playbook. We track how the exact language of clauses performs in real cases — and we keep watching as the law moves.

A static 50-state chart

  • Tells you a general rule, not your clause
  • Goes stale the moment a court rules
  • No source you can point to
  • Silent when the law is contested

ClauseDelta

  • Shows the actual outcome on comparable wording
  • A time-stamped record that grows every day
  • Every answer cites the primary source
  • Honest about split authority and gaps
