Methodology

SaaSGuard uses an automated pipeline: a daily Playwright crawler captures each vendor’s public Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and DPA. Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash classifies each clause into one of 8 risk categories with a severity score (1–5). Clauses are cross-referenced against a curated database of real lawsuits and FTC actions via embedding-based similarity matching. Grades are computed from per-category max severity; full source code is available on request.
