Example Prompt

Compare the indemnification provisions across these 10 vendor contracts:

EXTRACTION:
For each contract, extract:
- Indemnification scope (what's covered)
- Indemnifying party obligations
- Indemnified party obligations
- Limitations and caps
- Procedure requirements
- Survival period

COMPARISON OUTPUT:

1. SUMMARY TABLE
| Vendor | Scope | Cap | Procedure | Survival |

2. LANGUAGE COMPARISON
- Most protective provisions (for us)
- Least protective provisions
- Unusual provisions

3. PATTERN ANALYSIS
- What's "standard" in our vendor portfolio?
- Which vendors have unusual terms?
- Which vendors might accept better terms?

4. RECOMMENDATIONS
- Vendors to renegotiate
- Standard language to use going forward
- Risk ranking by vendor

Output as portfolio analysis report.
