About this exercise
Check the vendor's DPA extract against our six standard items. Write exactly six numbered lines in the standard's order, like: 1. Breach notice - Gap - under 12 words of reason. The status is exactly Met, Gap or Not addressed. Quote or paraphrase the DPA only; do not guess. Then a last line starting Send gaps to counsel: followed by the numbers of the lines that are not Met. Under 150 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Calling vague wording Met. The AI treats 'without undue delay' as meeting 48 hours. Try: Say: "Met only if the DPA matches the standard's number."
- Guessing on silence. The AI assumes data location is fine. Try: Say: "If the DPA is silent, write Not addressed."
- Missing summary line. The AI ends with a general opinion. Try: Say: "Last line: Send gaps to counsel: with the numbers."
- Loose numbering. The AI uses a table or extra items. Try: Say: "Exactly six numbered lines in the standard's order."
- Trusting the AI to count words. AI runs long. Try: Say: "Each reason under 10 words."
