Athlete-side contract intelligence

Know what
you're signing
before you sign.

KOVA IQ reads your NIL deal in plain English, flags the clauses that actually need a second look, and tells you what's normal, so you stop walking away from real money out of fear.

Apparel & Content Deal
FLAG: EXCLUSIVITY
Clause 4.2 locks you out of every other apparel deal for 18 months. That's longer than market standard. Worth pushing back before you sign.
The confidence gap

Most athletes don't lose money to bad deals.
They lose it to deals they never sign.

Compliance rules changed fast. Most athletes, and most of the people around them, don't have a clear read on what's actually risky versus what just sounds risky.

So the safe move becomes no move. A legitimate deal gets turned down because nobody around the athlete can say with confidence that it's clean.

KOVA IQ exists to close that gap, one deal at a time.

Agent in the pocket, not a lawyer on retainer
How it works

Three steps, before anything gets signed.

No legal jargon, no waiting on a callback. Upload the deal and get a straight answer.

Step 1 · Submitted

Upload the deal

Drop in the contract, screenshot, or DocuSign link. KOVA IQ reads it the way an agent would, not the way a search bar would.

Step 2 · Under review

Get the read

Every clause gets translated into plain English. Anything unusual, exclusivity terms, payment triggers, IP rights, gets flagged and explained in context.

Step 3 · Cleared

Sign with confidence

Know exactly what you're agreeing to, and what's negotiable, before you put your name on it.

Built for the whole deal cycle

One tool, four ways to use it.

01 · Pre-clearance scoring

Risk scoring before you sign

Every deal gets scored against current NIL Go and compliance standards, so you know where you stand before it becomes a problem.

02 · Plain-English breakdown

What the contract actually says

No dense legal language. Every clause gets a straight explanation of what it means and what it costs you if you're wrong about it.

03 · Agent Book

Built for people managing more than one athlete

Agents and advisors get a single view across every athlete's deal pipeline, with flags surfaced the moment they matter.

04 · Compliance console

For departments and collectives

Review deals flowing through your program without becoming the bottleneck. Screen faster, sign off with confidence.

Money map

See where every dollar actually goes.

Gross deal value never tells the real story. KOVA IQ breaks down the payout into what you keep, what goes to your agent, what gets withheld, and any fees buried in the fine print, before you sign, not after the first check clears.

Deal tracker

Every deal, one screen, always current.

Athletes juggle multiple offers, agents juggle multiple athletes. The tracker keeps every deal's status visible in one place instead of buried across texts, emails, and PDFs.

Who's involved

Built with input from NBA player agents and wealth managers who've watched good deals fall apart from bad information, across every division, not just the power conferences.

KOVA IQ is built for the athlete first. That means everyone from a walk-on at a D2 program to a projected first-round pick should get the same straight answer about what they're signing.
