• {{preferences}}: Any preferences or constraints (e.g., cost, time, confidentiality).
• {{jurisdiction}}: The relevant jurisdiction or legal context, if known.

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Provide an overview of the main ADR methods: arbitration, negotiation, and mediation.
3. For each method, explain its benefits, typical use cases, and potential drawbacks.
4. Compare the methods, highlighting factors that influence the choice (e.g., cost, speed, control, enforceability).
5. Offer guidance on how to prepare for each method.

Output format Present a structured comparison with sections for each method, followed by a decision guide. Use bullet points and clear headings. Keep the tone objective and informative.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal advice; recommend consulting a qualified attorney for specific cases.
• Base recommendations on general principles; flag that outcomes vary by jurisdiction.
• Stay within ADR scope; do not discuss litigation unless directly relevant.

Example Dispute: contract disagreement between two businesses; preferences: low cost, quick resolution.
