// About us

The problem was never the lawyer.
It was the document.

ClauseMap is the home of neurodivergent-centred legal tech. We rebuild contracts into the format each person reads best — starting with a map instead of a wall of text.

// Our story

Thirteen years of hiding it. One sentence that changed the question.

Age 17

Diagnosed, and silent

Tamsira is diagnosed with dyslexia. She tells almost no one, and carries on — through a law degree and into a career built on dense documents.

13 years

The bottom of the pile

Contracts roles at BP, Deloitte, GSK and NTT DATA. Some documents are straightforward. Others get quietly moved to the bottom of the pile — delayed reviews, fatigue, and the constant question of what is wrong with her.

Last year

Eight words

Her manager notices something is wrong and asks. She finally says she is dyslexic, and expects the worst. Without hesitation, the reply is that it is a superpower.

The shift

A different question

She stops asking what is wrong with her and starts looking at the systems around her. Contract review is a spatial task delivered as linear text — that is a design failure, not a personal one.

Now

ClauseMap

A working product built by the founder alone: parser, clause map, review flow and Word export. In structured testing inside a Magic Circle firm, and backed by Bethnal Green Ventures.

“

I thought I was going to be fired. She said it was a superpower.

// The idea, in one clause

Same clause. Four ways to read it.

This is clause 17.2 of a standard services agreement. Switch format to see what changes — and what stays exactly the same.

17.2Limitation of liabilityREVIEW SOON

Subject to clause 17.1, the Supplier’s total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement —

whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise —

shall not exceed the total Charges paid in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Same words, restructured. Risk stated in language, the sentence broken at its logical joints, 17px at 1.8 line-height on a warm ground.

// What we believe

Five things we will not compromise on.

1Accessibility is the product, not a setting

Most legal tech treats accessibility as a compliance checkbox added at the end. We start there. Everything else is built on top of it.

2The lawyer stays in control

Other tools automate the review and hand you an answer. ClauseMap makes your thinking visible and leaves the judgement where it belongs.

3No one should have to disclose to get help

Our tools work without anyone declaring a diagnosis to an employer. Adjustment should not cost you your privacy.

4Sustainable review, not maximum hours

We measure cognitive load and suggest breaks. We will never design for time-on-app — that would contradict the reason we exist.

5Plain English before legalese

Every clause gets a one-line meaning first. Understanding should not be gated behind the drafting.

// Who we are

Built by the people it is built for.
