NOT SAFE TO PROCEED — 2 STATUTORY VETO BLOCKS TRIGGERED
• KSA Civil Code penalty ceiling exceeded by uncapped LD clause — unenforceable as drafted (CR-014, CONF-GCC-01)
• Professional Indemnity insurance not required despite Design & Build procurement strategy (CR-025)

Two independent scoring tracks running simultaneously. The delta between them reveals where your jurisdiction creates risk that international standards alone would not surface.

Jurisdictional Delta: −7 points — The GCC overlay is stricter than the global baseline on penalty clauses and labour compliance. The global score alone would mask this exposure.
CRITICAL CONFLICTCross-Standard Conflict Detected
Liquidated Damages Cap vs KSA Civil Code Penalty Ceiling
International Standard Track
UNIDROIT Principles — Art. 7.4.13 (Agreed Payment for Non-Performance)
GCC Jurisdictional Overlay
KSA Civil Transactions Law Art. 176

The contract specifies liquidated damages of 0.5% per week with no stated cap. KSA Civil Code Art. 176 allows courts to reduce disproportionate penalty clauses. Courts in KSA have routinely reduced uncapped LD clauses exceeding 10% of contract value.

Commercial Exposure: The LD provision as drafted is likely unenforceable in KSA courts. Contractor could successfully argue reduction in arbitration, materially reducing your recovery on delay.
Required Remediation: Cap liquidated damages at 10% of the Contract Price and state explicitly that the cap represents a genuine pre-estimate of loss.

How Deterministic AI™ Works

01
Zero-token Pre-Scoring
56 risk controls assessed using deterministic text heuristics. Identical contract inputs produce bit-identical score baselines every time.
02
Dual-Track Benchmarking
Global Baseline Track (10 global standards) runs simultaneously with the GCC Jurisdictional Overlay to quantify regional enforcement delta.
03
Statutory Conflict Gate
Cross-standard conflicts are identified with statutory legal citations and estimated balance-sheet commercial impact.
04
Deterministic Guardrails
AI models provide narrative legal context and explanation without ever modifying the underlying mathematical risk score.
