Requesting a Cross-Check

​

Typical Scenarios

• Contract and terms review — checking against internal contract guidelines or related regulations
• Pre-submission review for proposals and plans — validating against a public notice’s evaluation criteria and submission requirements
• Operations manual revisions — comparing against the latest revised laws or internal policies to spot what needs updating
• Compliance review — ensuring reports and presentations don’t violate privacy, security, or disclosure rules

​

Example Questions

"Compare this contract draft against our standard guidelines and flag missing or conflicting clauses"
"Check this business plan against the RFP evaluation criteria and point out any unmet requirements"
"Show where this operations manual diverges from the latest revised guidelines"
"Review this IR deck for wording that conflicts with disclosure rules"

​

Tips for a More Accurate Check

• Tag both the target and reference with @ — making the scope explicit sharpens the result.
• Name the angle — “missing items,” “conflicting clauses,” “terminology inconsistencies” — state the lens you want applied.
• Ask for a usable format — a table, page references, or a priority ranking makes the output directly actionable.
