Is Your Contract Still Breathing?

We monitor patients with vital signs. We should monitor contracts the same way.

Because here’s the truth: a signed contract might look healthy on paper, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually functioning. Just like a patient can “look fine” while quietly declining, contracts can fail in ways that don’t show up until the damage is done.

At MonitorPoint, we keep tabs on the core vital signs of contract health:

Temperature – Is the relationship running hot?
Unusual escalation, repeated clarifications, or mounting tension signal a fever in the relationship. Or has the relationship gone cold?

Pulse – Is there steady movement?
A healthy contract has rhythm. Tasks completed, updates shared, deliverables checked. Silence or stalling means trouble.

Respirations – Is the workflow breathing?
Are the parties adapting to change and following the right processes? Or are things suffocating under inaction or overaction?

Oxygen Saturation – Are the core terms still viable?
Just like low oxygen cuts off critical functions, ignored scope, timelines, or price terms starve a contract of effectiveness.

Pain – Where does it hurt?
Some contracts limp along quietly in pain burdening your team, creating rework, or damaging relationships.

Contracts are living documents. If you’re not checking their vitals, you might be ignoring a problem that could have been treated early.

MonitorPoint keeps your contracts breathing.
We don’t write them. We make sure they live.
