Paste the agreement and get a grade against what's typical for your tenure, the clauses worth a second look, and the two or three asks most likely to be granted, each with a sentence you can send verbatim. Almost nobody counters a severance offer. That's exactly why counters work.
THE RELEASE IS WHAT THEY'RE BUYING
"In exchange for the consideration described herein, Employee releases all claims…"
A severance agreement is a trade: money for your signature. Which means the money is the negotiable part, and most people never ask. Paste the offer and this grades it against what's typical for your tenure, flags the clauses worth a second look, and gives you the asks most likely to be granted, worded and ready to send.

SAMPLE
example output, not your data
C
STANDARD BOILERPLATE, THIN ON WEEKS
A by-the-book offer at the low end for six years of service: take the review window and make the two asks below before signing.
The agreement gives 21 days to review and 7 days to revoke after signing, consistent with the ADEA defaults for a 40+ employee.
THE MONEY, AGAINST THE NORM
The agreement offers 6 weeks of base pay for 6 years of service, which sits at the bottom of the typical 1 to 2 weeks per year range. For your tenure, 9 to 12 weeks is a defensible counter, and the agreement's own 'discretionary adjustments' clause admits there's room.
WORTH ASKING FOR, IN THIS ORDER
1
Two more weeks of severance
"Given six years of service, I'd like to request the severance be adjusted to 8 weeks before I sign."
2
Three months of employer-paid COBRA
"Would the company cover the COBRA premium for the first three months of continuation coverage?"
3
Reference language in writing
"Can we attach agreed reference language as an exhibit so both sides know what will be said?"
Clauses worth a second look
•
"Non-solicitation of employees for 18 months" is long; 12 is more typical.
•
Severance paid as salary continuation, not lump sum: it can stop if they claim a breach.
•
The confidentiality clause covers the agreement's existence, which is common but worth knowing.
What it doesn't say
•
No employer COBRA contribution: one to three months is a common, winnable ask.
•
No agreed reference language anywhere in the document.
Present and normal
•
Release of claims in exchange for payment: the normal trade.
•
Non-disparagement runs both directions, which is better than most.
•
COBRA continuation is mentioned with the standard 60-day election window.
