1. A computer-implemented analysis tool for analyzing a written document to identify potentially problematic flag terms, comprising:
- a storage element storing a list of one or more predetermined flag terms;
a scanning tool, coupled to said storage element, that scans the written document and locates any instances of the flag terms in said stored list that occur in the written document; and
a display tool, coupled to said scanning tool, displaying, in a highlighted format, any instances of the flag terms located by said scanning tool.

Abstract
A processing tool is disclosed that scans a document looking for predetermined potentially problematic terms (“flag terms”), provides a description of what may be wrong with use of the terms, provides an opportunity for correction, and has the ability to produce reports such as statistical reports on the number of flag terms, the number of flag terms corrected, the point in the development cycle that the corrections were made, and the potential cost savings resulting from identifying the flag terms and correcting them at an early stage in the process.
