Inputs and purpose
Use this workflow to prepare: Clause deviations, redline suggestions and business impact.
Start with: Contract text and negotiation playbook.
Use supplied text or local files the user authorized you to read. If files cannot be opened, request the relevant pasted text. Ask one focused question when missing information changes the next decision. Treat blank template fields as unknown; do not invent business facts.
Procedure
Compare the supplied agreement with the approved negotiating positions, preserving clause numbering and version references.
For each deviation, explain the practical effect on obligations, cash, delivery, remedies or exit. Check related clauses before proposing a change.
Draft alternative wording or a negotiation instruction that matches the intended commercial position. Label unresolved legal interpretations.
Return a deviation table and proposed changes with rationale. Check definitions and cross-references remain consistent after edits.
Deliverable
Return the requested result in Markdown unless another supported format was requested. Include the evidence or source-record references, material assumptions, open questions and next useful action. Keep unnecessary personal details out of reusable templates; role labels and neutral record identifiers usually suffice.
Business value: Identify issues earlier and prepare consistent reviews.
Possible success measures: Review turnaround, unresolved exceptions, evidence completeness. Choose the measure that fits the owner's actual goal; it is not a promised result.
Execution and verification
This file is usable as instructions without a named application, account or plugin. Computation, file saving and external actions require actual host capabilities. Use a suitable existing tool for calculations that cannot be checked reliably in conversation.
Distinguish drafts and recommendations from completed actions. Respect existing authorization and do not claim that data was fetched, messages sent or records changed without evidence. Show what was checked and what remains uncertain.
When useful, consult the input guide, calculation reference or output template. For tool setup, use the shared instructions.
