We would also pay rent for the 3 months until we move out.\nOption 3, Sublease: we pay the full rent for the first 6 months while we look for a subtenant. From month 7 through month 24 (18 months) the subtenant pays 60% of the rent and we pay the rest. We also pay a broker fee equal to 2 months' rent.\n\nNotes: the sublease subtenant has not been found; the 60% and the 6-month search are estimates from the broker. The lease says subleases need the landlord's written consent, and the buyout offer is an email from the landlord, not a signed amendment. Moving costs, new-space costs and tenant improvements are not included in any option. The CFO will decide at the Nov 24 meeting.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":150}],"promptHints":[{"label":"Names the columns","patterns":["option","math","net cost"]},{"label":"Shows each calculation","patterns":["show","x \\$20,000","math"]},{"label":"Asks for the three closing lines","patterns":["lowest net cost","not included","confirm with counsel"]},{"label":"Bans a recommendation","patterns":["no recommendation","facts only"]},{"label":"Caps length","patterns":["\\d+\\s*words","under \\d+"]}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Using the full rent for sublease months","why":"The AI forgets the subtenant pays 60%.","fix":"Add: \"After month 6 we pay 40% of the rent.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Recommending an option","why":"The AI tells the CFO to buy out.","fix":"Add: \"Facts only: no recommendation.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Treating estimates as certain","why":"The AI ignores that the buyout is unsigned.","fix":"Add: \"Confirm with counsel: sublease consent and the unsigned buyout.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Skipping rent until move-out","why":"The AI counts the buyout as $120,000.","fix":"Add: \"Buy out includes 3 months of rent until move-out.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting and runs past word limits.","fix":"Ask for fewer words than the real cap and keep each part short.","checks":["maxWords"]}],"hint":"Each option is a small formula.
