How do I run this job?
Prepare the materials
Current approved template, represented party, deal facts and explicitly approved changes; distinguish requests from agreed positions. Use only an approved tool and authorized material. Identify unreadable pages and missing versions before continuing.
Produce the draft
Preserve unaffected template text. Return a draft, a change log linking each change to an instruction, and unresolved placeholders. Request missing conditions before selecting optional clauses.
Check the result
Compare the draft with the original template, including definitions, numbering and cross-references. Do not treat a counterparty request as approval. Check every output against the original material and relevant amendments.
