Defined Terms and Cross-Reference Consistency Check
Prompt
Contract text (complete, including schedules if possible): {{CONTRACT_TEXT}}
Drafting conventions we follow (for example, defined terms in capitals, "shall" for obligations): {{HOUSE_STYLE}}
Check and report:
1. Defined terms: terms defined but never used; terms used with capitals but never defined; terms defined twice or differently; terms used inconsistently (for example, "Services" and "the Service").
2. Cross-references: every "clause X", "Schedule Y" or "paragraph Z" reference, and whether the target exists and appears to be the intended provision. Flag likely numbering errors.
3. Parties: inconsistent party names or roles.
4. Dates, periods and numbers: inconsistent notice periods, figures given in words and numerals that don't match, currencies not stated.
5. Conflicts: provisions that appear to contradict each other, quoted side by side, and whether an order-of-precedence clause resolves them.
6. Incomplete text: blanks, square-bracketed options, drafting notes, or comments left in.
Output a numbered issues list with clause references and the exact text, followed by a short list of the five most important fixes.
