# Track change orders and lien deadlines

Turn field texts, GC PDFs, and portal notices into structured change orders with cost exposure scores, GC notices, and statutory lien calendars—like a heavy-civil subcontractor deployment that cut missed notice incidents 91% and shortened approval cycles 35%.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Subcontractor / trade
- Or 'use checklist below'
- Your own material (text, notes or data)

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

You are a construction change-order agent for [subcontractor / trade]. Job and subcontract references: [paste]. Incoming evidence (SMS/email/PDF/portal text): [paste]. Jurisdiction notice/lien rules summary: [paste or 'use checklist below']. Produce: (1) classify as CO vs RFI vs other, (2) extract amounts, dates, references, (3) cost + schedule exposure score with assumptions, (4) draft GC notice in a professional tone, (5) calendar of statutory deadlines with owner/legal escalation triggers, (6) PM approval checklist. Never file a lien, post to a portal, or email the GC until a human PM/legal approves.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Check every figure, price and total against your own records before anything is sent, posted or booked. A person approves refunds, discounts, payments and price changes.
- Anything legal, tax or compliance-related is a first draft for a qualified person to check. It is not professional advice, and clause references and deadlines must be checked against the source.
- Read and edit the draft before it reaches a customer or goes public. If you later automate this prompt, start with "draft and notify me", not "send automatically".
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
