About this exercise

Review the vendor's questionnaire answers and list only the items that need follow-up: answers that are blank, vague, or conditional. Write exactly 4 checkbox lines, in question order, each formatted like "[ ] Q3 - what to request" under 15 words. If an answer includes terms that counsel should read, end that line with "Counsel to review." Then a last line exactly: Risk rating is for the vendor risk committee. Plain text.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Flagging complete answers. The AI lists every question. Try: Say: "Only blank, vague or conditional answers."
  • Vague requests. The AI writes 'follow up on this'. Try: Say: "Each line says exactly what to request."
  • Giving a verdict. The AI rates the vendor or says to sign. Try: Say: "Last line exactly: Risk rating is for the vendor risk committee."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 15 words."
  • Markdown. The AI bolds words or adds headings. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
