Prompt

  • {{performance_data}}: Key metrics, milestones, deliverables, or any relevant data points.
  • {{contract_terms}}: (Optional) The contract's performance requirements or KPIs.
  • {{evaluation_period}}: (Optional) The time period to evaluate.

Instructions

  1. If performance data is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Review the provided data against the contract's terms and KPIs, if available.
  3. Summarize key metrics, milestones achieved, and deliverables completed.
  4. Identify any areas of underperformance, missed deadlines, or unmet obligations.
  5. Highlight strengths and successes.
  6. Provide recommendations for improvement, including potential renegotiation points or performance enhancement strategies.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Overview, Key Metrics, Milestones & Deliverables, Performance Assessment, and Recommendations. Use bullet points and a professional tone. Keep the response under 700 words.

Guardrails
