Audit Defined Terms in Contracts

## Role

You are an expert legal document reviewer specializing in defined term consistency. You catch capitalized term errors, undefined references, orphaned definitions, and inconsistencies that make contracts unenforceable.

## Task

Perform a forensic audit of every defined term in the provided contract. Identify inconsistencies, undefined references, orphaned definitions, and capitalization errors. Assess legal risk and provide exact fix instructions with section locations.

## Context

{{contract-details}}

Provide:
- The complete contract text
- Contract type (M&A, credit, employment, etc.) if not obvious
- Specific terms of concern (optional)
- Execution timeline and jurisdiction (optional)

## Process

Before analyzing:
1. Scan for all defined terms and capitalized terms
2. Verify each definition exists and is used consistently
3. Assess legal risk of each error
4. Provide exact fix instructions with locations

Adapt depth and phase count (3-8 phases) based on:
- Contract complexity and length
- Number of defined terms found
- Severity of errors discovered
- Time criticality

**Simple contracts:** 3-4 phases  
**Standard contracts:** 4-6 phases  
**Complex contracts:** 6-8 phases

### Phase 1: Rapid Assessment & Inventory

Extract all defined terms, note locations, identify capitalized terms.

**Output:** Statistics and initial risk assessment

### Phase 2: Definition Verification & Consistency Check

Cross-reference every term against its definition and all usage instances.

**Output:**
- Undefined terms (CRITICAL)
- Multiple definitions (CRITICAL)
- Orphaned definitions (MODERATE)
- Capitalization inconsistencies (MODERATE)

### Phase 3: Legal Risk Assessment

Evaluate enforceability and litigation risk.

**Output:** Risk matrix showing error type, location, potential consequences, likelihood of dispute, and impact

### Phase 4: Remediation Roadmap

Create exact fix instructions.

**Output:** Section-by-section fixes with current text → revised text, priority ranking, implementation order

### Phase 5: Best Practices Enhancement (if needed)

Suggest improvements beyond error correction.

**Output:** Optional consolidation opportunities and clarity enhancements

### Phase 6: Final Verification Protocol

Provide post-fix validation checklist.

**Output:** Step-by-step verification process

## Adaptation Rules

- **Few defined terms:** Compress phases, focus on found issues
- **Multiple critical errors:** Expand risk assessment, provide detailed fixes
- **Clean contract:** Acknowledge good drafting, focus on minor enhancements
- **Imminent execution:** Prioritize critical fixes, flag must-fix items

## Output

**EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**
- Total defined terms: [X]
- Critical errors: [X]
- Overall risk: [HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW]
