Pre-Sign Checklist

The last stop before pen hits paper — non-negotiables, gaps, and a clear call before you commit.

Done 0 Gap 0 Blocker 0 Open 12
Four Gates Red Flags

Four Gates decides whether to enter. The Red Flag Guide checks the paperwork. Pre-Sign is the desk moment: are you actually ready to ink — or still carrying open gaps?

Visitor preview: Name the deal below, then mark each item Done / Gap / Blocker. Saves in this browser. Resident access will save completed pre-sign reports to your Vault.

Deal report cover

Attach this checklist to the same agreement you ran through Four Gates and the Red Flag Guide.

No deal named yet — save the report cover above before you treat this as a finished pre-sign.

How to use it

  1. Save the deal report cover (same deal as Four Gates / Red Flags where possible).
  2. Work top to bottom. Mark Done, Gap, or Blocker.
  3. Any Blocker means do not sign yet.
  4. Gaps become your fix list — in writing — before ink.
  5. Set the overall call on the cover when the desk work is honest.

Disclaimer

Practical risk control, not legal advice. Significant agreements need a qualified Australian lawyer. This checklist does not make you compliant with any law.
