A buyer framework, not a vendor attack
A serious VDR decision should test audience separation, release control, agreement evidence, pricing mechanics, operating records, assurance boundaries, closeout, and support—not just a long feature list.
Clarity's answer links to the public page where the boundary can be reviewed. Customer-specific commitments still belong in an executed agreement.
Can investors, partners, and the Deal Team receive genuinely different workspaces and visibility?
Clarity routes each individual through account, room, role, group, and document policy before presenting an assigned workspace.
Review the trust modelWho decides whether a document is visible, view-only, watermarked, downloadable, or request-only?
The Deal Team governs publication, group assignment, document policy, watermark posture, download approval, and revocation.
See Deal Team controlsCan the room show which version of the platform terms and room agreement or NDA each person accepted?
Current account terms and room agreements are accepted through individual accounts, with versioned attributable evidence retained for reporting.
Read the published termsAre the package, included storage, additional rooms, storage expansion, renewal, cancellation, and export path visible before setup?
Clarity publishes one complete package, expansion pricing, billing policy, and a reviewed setup path without a feature-tier ladder.
Review pricingDo permissions, access decisions, review activity, Q&A, downloads, and closeout outputs connect to attributable records?
Clarity connects governed room workflows to audit-supporting records, reports, permission exports, and closeout materials.
Review security and evidenceDoes the provider distinguish implemented controls from independent certifications and customer-specific commitments?
Clarity publishes implemented control posture, states where independent assurance is not claimed, and reserves customer-specific commitments for an executed agreement.
Open the security review packageCan procurement understand provider categories and request the applicable customer schedule without receiving an architecture map?
Clarity publishes bounded provider categories and makes the current customer schedule available through controlled legal or security review.
Review provider transparencyWhat can be exported, revoked, archived, retained, or deleted when the review ends?
Clarity supports governed exports and closeout records; the applicable retention, archive, and deletion commitments remain visible in policy and customer agreements.
Use the closeout resourcesThis composition is built from Clarity workspace patterns with fictional names and records. It does not load a customer room, document, participant, or audit event.
Setup, agreements, permissions, pricing, closeout, security review, and support should be clear before a room is live.
Preparation time depends on the document corpus, folder structure, audience lanes, screening state, and the Deal Team's release review. Clarity provides a defined setup path instead of promising an unsupported universal launch time.
Yes. The setup process can preserve or remap an existing folder structure, and Clarity publishes a migration inventory template so document owners, destinations, audience scope, and exceptions can be reviewed before release.
Each person uses an individual account and accepts the current platform terms before protected workspace use. A room participant also accepts the current room agreement or NDA before protected room access. Clarity retains version, time, identity, and room context as attributable evidence.
Not automatically. Room membership, group scope, participant visibility, and document assignments are governed by the Deal Team. Reviewers receive the participant and document visibility approved for their lane.
Yes. The Deal Team can keep assigned materials in a controlled viewer, apply watermark posture, block direct download, or route a download request for review. The effective policy can vary by room, group, and document.
Clarity Complete does not add a per-user line item for invited participants, subject to the published service limits and acceptable-use terms. Active rooms and storage expansion follow the prices shown on the pricing page.
Clarity publishes one complete feature package rather than a feature-tier ladder. Additional active rooms and storage blocks can be added under the published expansion model, with larger requirements reviewed before setup.
The Deal Team can review access, revoke participants, export governed records, and prepare closeout materials. Archive, retention, export-window, and deletion behavior follows the published policies and the applicable customer agreement.
Public security, privacy, DPA, provider-transparency, status, support, and assurance-boundary pages are available without an account. Customer-specific schedules and sensitive evidence can be requested through controlled legal or security review.
No. Preview mode uses sanitized simulations and a non-submitting setup form. It does not send an invitation, take payment, change access, create a room, or load production customer records.
Clarity provides public support routes for access, room operations, billing, and security escalation. A live room should also identify the Deal Team contact or approved access-review path for room-specific questions.
Clarity can be evaluated against the review pattern you actually need, with public boundaries and customer-specific commitments kept distinct.
