Example Prompt
This is a negotiation efficiency workflow. Process this counterparty redline as quickly as possible: INCOMING: Vendor's redlined MSA (their response to our initial draft) RAPID REVIEW (target: 15 minutes): 1. Categorize all changes (accept/negotiate/reject) 2. Flag only items requiring escalation 3. Apply playbook to generate responses REDLINE GENERATION (target: 15 minutes): 1. Accept standard changes 2. Generate counter-redlines per playbook 3. Draft comments for negotiable items ESCALATION SUMMARY (for approver): - Critical issues requiring decision (max 3-5) - Recommended position for each - Impact of accepting vs. rejecting OUTPUT: 1. Response redline (ready to send pending approval) 2. Brief escalation memo 3. Approval checklist EFFICIENCY METRICS: - Time from receipt to draft response ready - Number of issues requiring escalation - Comparison to historical cycle time
