Get Organized
Turn a contract package into an actionable requirements matrix with source citations, conflict decisions, section mappings, ownership, evidence, and coverage checks.
We'll use them to write your prompt.
Completed ✓
Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Catch missed clauses, conflicting instructions, unsupported claims, and unmapped requirements before they cause rework, rejection, or a compliance problem.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Establish Authority and Change History
Find stated precedence rules and determine which modifications replace, add, or leave earlier language unchanged.
03
Extract Atomic Requirements
Break source language into individually testable requirements without combining separate obligations.
04
Trace Cross-References
Follow internal references and identify incorporated material that is unavailable or not yet reviewed.
05
Separate Requirements From Context
Prevent goals, examples, assumptions, and internal preferences from being treated as binding contract terms.
06
Resolve or Escalate Conflicts
Use only cited contract authority to resolve inconsistent instructions. Send unresolved issues to an authorized contact.
07
Map Requirements to the Submission
Connect each applicable requirement to the exact place where the submission will address it.
08
Assign Ownership and Evidence
Turn each mapped requirement into an accountable work item with proof that it was completed.
09
Build the Traceability Matrix
Combine source, requirement, mapping, ownership, evidence, and status data into one controlled record.
10
Run the Coverage Audit
Test the matrix in both directions so requirements aren't missed and unsupported content is visible.
11
Prepare the Final Submission Gate
Convert unresolved trace findings into a release decision and ordered final checks.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Start with the signed award or task order, current statement of work, all listed attachments, and every modification issued afterward. Keep source wording and plain-language actions in separate columns. If a citation or controlling instruction is unclear, flag it instead of guessing.
Advanced instructions
Maintain stable requirement IDs across revisions. Record superseded language rather than deleting it, link each change to the controlling modification, and preserve the source hierarchy used for every conflict decision. Re-run coverage after each amendment, outline change, or final document revision.
Use this when
You need to turn a signed contract, task order, statement of work, attachments, and later modifications into a controlled deliverable or submission plan.
