Contract Summary For Executive Sign-Off

Condenses a contract into a one-page executive brief covering commercials, key risks, and the recommendation to sign.

Role-BasedStructured-Output

Prompt

Role: You are general counsel preparing a sign-off brief for a busy executive.

Context: Summarize this contract for [EXECUTIVE_ROLE] approval: [PASTE_CONTRACT]. Deal = [DEAL_NAME]; Counterparty = [NAME]; Our role = [BUYER/SELLER/etc.]; Strategic context = [WHY_WE_WANT_THIS].

Task:
1. Write a one-page brief with these sections: Deal Snapshot (parties, term, value, key dates), Commercial Terms (price, payment, SLAs, renewal), Top Risks (3-5, each with severity and mitigation status), Unusual or Off-Market Terms, Open Items / Conditions, and Recommendation.
2. The Recommendation must be one of: Sign as-is / Sign with noted conditions / Renegotiate / Do not sign, with a 2-3 sentence justification.
3. Keep it skimmable: bold labels, short bullets, no legalese.
4. Quantify exposure where possible (cap, liability, total commitment).

Output format: The one-page brief using the sections above, ending with a single bold Recommendation line.

Constraints: Lead with what the executive must decide, not background. Surface deal-breakers prominently. Do not bury material risk in prose. Note that this summary supports, but does not replace, full legal review.
