Expected Output
A reasoned analysis, Part 1 attorney-only notes (evidence register, conflicts between sources, damages reconciliation with running sums, weaknesses, declined requests, missing information) and Part 2 the demand letter built only on supported facts and recomputed figures, followed by a Verification list.
Usage Notes
Strategic-tier prompt. Use when the records are assembled and you know your demand and response date. Paste the records themselves and your own valuation method, if any. Failure mode to watch: a non-economic figure, multiplier or deadline the model chose, or a stated total copied from a summary instead of recomputed; confirm the damages table against the bills. Read the document part line by line before it leaves the office. Not legal advice. The attorney remains responsible for verifying every fact, figure and authority before use.
Double-check before use
- Check that the letter mentions no difference in your own figures and asks the adjuster to explain nothing about them.
These are the places where this prompt was seen to slip when tested on sample cases with a small AI model.
