Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Catch scope gaps where they usually hide: room boundaries, trade handoffs, owner selections, allowances, protection work, finishes, and closeout expectations.
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
Map every review area
Turn the project into a complete walkthrough route so small areas and shared boundaries don't disappear between trades.
03
Build the room scope matrix
Break each area into the work categories needed for a direct scope confirmation.
04
Run the owner confirmation
Ask specific questions that settle what stays, what changes, and what isn't included.
05
Test edges and handoffs
Check the seams between rooms, trades, and project phases where unpriced work often appears.
06
Challenge assumptions and exclusions
Make hidden expectations visible before they become field disputes.
07
Close selections and allowances
Separate firm choices from placeholders and identify decisions that can affect procurement, price, or schedule.
08
Lock owner responsibilities
Tie owner-provided information, materials, access, and approvals to dates and dependencies.
09
Route every open issue
Keep ordinary clarification separate from selections, document conflicts, and work that may change price or time.
10
Issue and secure signoff
Create the final record, request approval correctly, and preserve unresolved work for formal follow-up.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
Collect the signed proposal, plans, specifications, selection sheets, allowances, and recent owner messages before starting. Walk one room at a time and record exact decisions instead of relying on memory.
Advanced instructions
Use the document priority rules in the contract, preserve source references for every material decision, and separate clarification from added work. Route design, code, engineering, and legal conflicts to the qualified party responsible for them.
