- {{document_text}}: full text of the contract, report, or policy.

- Group items by category. Summarise overall exposure per category.
- Write an executive overview highlighting the top three risks and urgent actions.
- Flag ambiguous clauses, missing information, or areas needing legal or compliance review.
Output format Provide:

Guardrails
- Do not invent clauses, figures, legal references, or standards. If a detail is not in the document, say so.
- Do not provide legal advice. Tell the user when a qualified legal professional or compliance officer must review the original document.
