Before you quote the couple
Spot warning signs in a couple's inquiry
Paste the message you received. The scanner flags common warning patterns about scope, payment, timeline, compensation, and communication. Each finding comes with a specific question to ask the couple. Pattern match, not a verdict.

When to use this scanner
- First contact. A couple reaches out via email, DM, or contact form. Before you draft a quote, paste the message here and see if anything should be clarified first.
- Rush inquiries. "We're getting married in 4 weeks" inquiries are higher-risk on price pressure and scope creep. Scanner helps you see which ones are worth the rush premium vs which will ghost at proposal time.
- Large-scope, small-budget mismatch. "Full day plus drone plus rush edit" with "we're on a tight budget" is the classic red-flag sandwich. Scanner catches the mismatch so you can ask the budget question before wasting a proposal.
- Payment-term games. "Can we pay after delivery?" or "We don't usually pay deposits" are payment-risk flags. Scanner surfaces them so you can set expectations or walk away before committing.
Terms clause 4a
The scanner refuses to evaluate inputs that reference race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or marital status. If your message includes any protected-characteristic language, you will see an educational refusal instead of a score. This is enforced in code, not just policy. See Terms section 4a for the full clause.

Frequently asked
What kinds of red flags does the scanner find?
Scope (unrealistic coverage for the budget, last-minute add-ons, vague requirements), payment (no deposit, pay-on-delivery, payment-contingent-on-approval), timeline (rush delivery, compressed prep), compensation (exposure-for-payment, future-work-promises), and communication (urgency manipulation, dismissive tone, unrealistic expectations).
Is this about rejecting clients?
No. Every finding comes with a specific clarifying question you can ask the couple. Most red flags are just missing information; asking the right question upfront saves a bad booking later. Sometimes the answer surfaces a deal-breaker. Sometimes the couple clarifies and you proceed with eyes open.
Does the scanner judge couples based on who they are?
No. The scanner refuses to evaluate inputs that reference race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, or marital status (Rateven Terms clause 4a). It scans the business conduct described in the message, not the person. If your message includes any protected-characteristic language, the scanner will show an educational refusal instead of a score.
Where does this data go?
Nowhere. The scan runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is logged, nothing is stored. Close the tab and the text is gone.
What if the couple's message has zero red flags?
Great. You get a green 'No warnings' card. That is meaningful information. Most problem bookings in hindsight had at least one flag in the initial message that was missed or dismissed. A clean scan is a solid signal to move forward with the quote.
