About this prompt
This prompt frames a non-standard contract request so legal can act fast instead of triggering a three-week redline spiral. It translates the customer's redline into the real problem to solve and gives legal the business context and flexibility range they need. Use it during negotiation when a custom clause, liability change, or data term needs legal review.Vague or maximalist requests to legal turn into long redline cycles that stall deals. This prompt frames the request so legal can move quickly. Describe the term in WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR; explain THE CUSTOMER'S UNDERLYING CONCERN behind the redline; give DEAL SIZE, STRATEGIC VALUE, TIMELINE; state your read in MY SENSE OF OUR FLEXIBILITY; and set HOW TIME-SENSITIVE it is. It produces a clear statement of the actual ask, the business context legal needs to calibrate how hard to fight, your acceptable range, a prioritization of which asks matter, a ready-to-send brief, and customer-side framing on timeline. Use this to communicate the business need clearly — it explicitly stays out of interpreting terms and flags anywhere you risk speaking for legal. Tip: fill THE CUSTOMER'S UNDERLYING CONCERN carefully, because legal often solves the real concern faster than the literal redline once they understand what the customer actually needs.The prompt
