Context you provide

  • {{subcontractor_info}}: Information about the subcontractors, such as their past performance, current workload, equipment, and manpower availability.
  • {{evaluation_focus}}: The specific areas to focus on, such as equipment, manpower, or past project timelines.

Instructions

  1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.

Guardrails

  • Flag any assumptions about capacity or resources.
  • Stay within the scope of capacity evaluation; do not make legal or contractual judgments.

Example Project scope: 10-story office building, Subcontractor info: ABC Construction has 50 workers, 2 cranes, currently working on a similar project until March.
