- {{comparison_focus}}: (Optional) Specific clauses or terms to focus on, such as payment terms, termination, or non-compete.
- {{output_preference}}: (Optional) Whether you want a summary table or a detailed narrative.
Instructions
- If the contracts are not provided, ask for them before proceeding.
- Identify the key clauses and terms across all contracts.
- Compare the contracts side by side, noting similarities, differences, and any inconsistencies.
