Compliance review that shows its work.
Dale mirrors the review process a franchise attorney would perform manually: reading every section, checking it against the applicable rules, and producing a written analysis, compressed from days into a single session.

examiner reviews.
Dale reads the FDD as one integrated document: disclosures reconciled across the body, exhibits squared against the obligations they describe, and federal and NASAA requirements applied together. Not a checklist run item by item.
Three simple steps.
Upload the FDD
Drop in any Franchise Disclosure Document. Dale structures the analysis by item and delivers findings ready for your review.
PDF, scanned or digital. Drag and drop.

What is Dale Review?
You upload your FDD and Dale reads all of it the way an examiner would, checking it against the FTC Franchise Rule, the NASAA Guidelines, and the requirements of the 14 franchise registration states. You get back a list of problems to fix, each tied to the page in your document and the rule involved.
What does a review cover?
The whole filing: the cover page, Items 1 through 23, the financial statements, the franchise agreement and other exhibits, and the state addenda. Dale also checks the document against itself, so a fee stated one way in Item 5 and another way in the franchise agreement gets flagged.
Can I review just part of an FDD?
Yes. Run it on the whole FDD, the main body without exhibits, or a single item you just revised.
How long does a review take?
Minutes. A first pass that takes days by hand comes back in a few minutes for most FDDs.
What do I get back?
A list of issues, each quoting the sentence in question and naming the rule. Every issue is labeled by how serious it is: likely to draw a deficiency comment, numbers that do not match across the document, a judgment call for you, or fine as written. Export it as a report when you are done.
Does Dale work with scanned FDDs?
Yes. Scanned or digital, Dale reads the whole filing, including tables, exhibits, and financial statements.
Does Dale keep up with rule changes?
Yes. We update Dale as federal, NASAA, and state requirements change, so your next review runs against the current rules.
Can I compare this year's FDD with last year's?
Yes. Past reviews are saved, so you can put this year's issues next to last year's and see which were fixed and which are new.
Can I share a review with a client or co-counsel?
Yes. Share a link to a single review. They can read it and ask questions about it, and they see nothing else in your account.
Does Dale replace attorney review?
No. Dale does the first read and flags what needs attention. Deciding what matters, advising the client, and signing off on the filing stay with you.
