**Short answer:** AI offer review uses large language models trained on attorney-drafted employment agreements and benchmarked against current compensation data to analyze your offer and recommend counter language. Counteroffer delivers AI-powered offer reviews with human audit in 24 hours for $199. The result is a structured PDF identifying every negotiable item, peer benchmarks, and ready-to-send counter language.

## What AI offer review actually does

A well-designed AI offer review:

1. Reads your offer letter and employment agreement
2. Identifies every negotiable item: base, equity, severance, IP, restrictive covenants
3. Benchmarks each compensation component against current market data
4. Flags missing protections (Good Reason, double-trigger, etc.)
5. Identifies overbroad restrictive covenants
6. Generates specific counter language for each recommended change
7. Outputs a structured PDF you can send to the recruiter

This is contract analysis applied to employment offers specifically, with the benefit of compensation benchmarking and state-law awareness.

## Why AI works for offer review

Several characteristics make employment offers good targets for AI analysis:

- **Consistent structure.** Most offers follow similar patterns (comp summary, equity, terms, conditions)
- **Benchmarkable.** Compensation has rich market data (Pave, Levels.fyi, Carta)
- **State-law overlay.** IP carve-outs, non-compete enforceability, and other state-specific items are well-defined
- **Recommended language is well-established.** Standard counter language for common asks (refresh, Good Reason, acceleration, carve-outs)
- **Output is structured.** A PDF report works well for this content type

The pattern-matching parts (identifying clauses, mapping to categories) are AI-strong. The judgment parts (severity ranking, escalation criteria) benefit from human audit.

## How Counteroffer's AI offer review differs from raw ChatGPT

Specific differences:

- Trained on real attorney-drafted offers, not generic internet text
- Indexed against current Pave and Levels.fyi benchmarks
- State-specific IP carve-out and non-compete analysis (CA 2870, MA G.L. c. 149 § 24L, etc.)
- Citations to controlling statutes and recent case law
- Human review before delivery catches AI errors
- Output structured as a delivered PDF, not a chat log
- Refund guarantee if we miss something material

Raw ChatGPT can produce generic offer commentary but doesn't have access to current compensation data, doesn't cite specific authority reliably, and doesn't have human review.

## What AI offer review can't do

Limitations to be aware of:

- Not legal advice. Counteroffer is a contract analysis service, not a law firm.
- Not appropriate for active disputes. If you're negotiating an offer in active conflict with a prior employer (non-compete, IP), legal counsel matters.
- Not appropriate for highly complex situations. Senior executive packages with 280G exposure, multi-state issues, or unusual structures may exceed AI rubric coverage.
- Not appropriate for international offers. Cross-border employment requires specialized counsel.

For these situations, AI review still provides value as a starting point, but specialized counsel should be engaged.

## Pricing and delivery

- $199 flat fee, delivered in 24 hours
- $498 for review + 30-minute prep call
- Refund if we miss a material issue
