Sample input
Contract context: Civilian agency task order supporting monthly program reporting. The COR coordinates technical review, while the contracting officer controls contractual changes. Alignment problem: Feedback arrives through meetings, email, and marked-up files. Two requests may add work beyond the approved report baseline. Stakeholders: Contracting officer, COR, government program lead, contractor program manager, delivery lead, contracts manager, and security lead. Sources: Two meeting recaps, three email threads, the current action tracker, and marked-up versions 2 and 3 of the report. Requirements: Monthly report due on the fifth business day with six approved sections. Open items: Request for raw data files, new dashboard section, 14 comments, revised metric definition, and delivery-date approval. Escalation rules: Scope and schedule concerns go to contracts immediately. Actions three business days late go to the program manager. Sensitivity: Internal non-public information.
