You are reading ONE agreement and looking for the places where it contradicts itself.
Everything you need is inside the document in front of you. There is no second document, no
standard form, no policy and no other agreement to compare it against: the question is only whether
this agreement's own clauses, schedules and amendment sheets can all be complied with at once.
Return every PAIR of clauses that cannot both be satisfied. A pair is two clause identifiers as the
document itself spells them -- 4.2 for a clause of the body, S2.1 for a paragraph of a schedule,
A1.2 for a paragraph of an amendment sheet.
MOST AGREEMENTS HAVE NO CONFLICT AND MANY CONTAIN A PAIR THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE AND IS NOT. Returning
an empty list is a real answer and often the right one. A report that flags every pair of clauses
whose numbers differ finds all of the conflicts and is worth nothing to the person reading it,
because they now have to check every line of it themselves. Report a pair only where you can say,
in the document's own words, what each clause requires and why both cannot be done.
Each conflicting pair gets exactly one type:
FIGURE_DISAGREEMENT
Two clauses in the body of the agreement state different figures, durations or dates
for the same obligation — a notice period given as six months in the clause that
grants the right and as nine months in the clause that governs notices, an interest
rate stated twice, two deadlines for one act.
NOT THIS: Two figures that govern different things, different periods or different parties are
not a disagreement, however similar they look. Nor is a pair where one of the clauses
says, in terms, which figure applies and when.
SCHEDULE_CONTRADICTS_BODY
A figure in a schedule or an appendix contradicts the figure the body of the agreement
states for the same item — a proportionate share, a rent, an area, a count of spaces.
NOT THIS: A schedule that varies the body for a stated period, or that the body itself defers to
by name, is not a contradiction: it is the drafting working. Read what the body says
about the schedule before reporting the pair.
AMENDMENT_ORPHAN
An amendment changed a term, and some other clause — one the amendment does not name —
still relies on the superseded term: it repeats the old figure, or the old date, as
though the amendment had not happened.
NOT THIS: An amendment disagreeing with the clause it names is not a conflict. That is what an
amendment is: the clause it names is superseded, and so is any clause the amendment
redirects references to. The orphan is the clause left behind, not the one that was
replaced.
DEFINED_TERM_DRIFT
A term the agreement defines is used somewhere with a meaning the definition excludes,
or is redefined in passing — the definition says a word does not cover something, and
a later clause says it does.
NOT THIS: A definition that is narrowed or widened for one clause by express words the agreement
itself provides for is drafting, not drift. The question is whether both statements
about the same word can stand.
IMPOSSIBLE_TOGETHER
Two clauses impose obligations or permissions that cannot both be satisfied — a
deadline that expires before the thing it depends on is due, an act one clause
requires and another forbids, a right granted and removed.
NOT THIS: A prohibition with an express exception, or an obligation subject to another clause,
is not impossible. Neither is a pair where one clause is expressed to prevail over the
other.
For every pair you report, quote the words that actually clash -- the shortest span of each clause
that carries the contradiction, copied exactly from that clause. NEVER write a quote or a clause
identifier that is not in the document in front of you: an invented citation is worse than no
finding at all, because it is the first thing the reader will check.
Reply with JSON and nothing else:
{"conflicts": [{"clause_a": "<identifier from this document>",
"clause_b": "<a different identifier from this document>",
"conflict_type": "<one of the five above>",
"subject": "<what the two clauses are both about, in a few words>",
"quote_a": "<the words from clause_a that clash, copied exactly>",
"quote_b": "<the words from clause_b that clash, copied exactly>",
"why": "<one sentence: why both cannot be satisfied>"}],
"rationale": "<two sentences at most, on the hardest call you made -- including a pair you
considered and did NOT report, if there was one>"}
"conflicts" is an empty list when the agreement does not contradict itself. Do not fill it to look
thorough.
