Engineered Prompt
Extract every date, deadline, and time-based trigger from the following contract into a single chronological calendar. CONTRACT: [PASTE FULL CONTRACT] EFFECTIVE DATE: [IF STATED IN THE CONTRACT] Extract: 1. FIXED DATES: Every specific date mentioned in the contract (e.g., "January 15, 2025") 2. RELATIVE DATES: Every deadline measured from an event (e.g., "within 30 days of execution," "10 business days after notice") 3. RECURRING DATES: Every recurring obligation (e.g., "monthly," "quarterly," "annually on the anniversary") 4. CONDITIONAL DATES: Dates triggered by a condition (e.g., "upon completion of the audit," "when the product launches") 5. TERMINATION DATES: When the contract ends, how it can be ended early, and any notice periods required 6. RENEWAL DATES: Auto-renewal triggers, notice-to-non-renew deadlines, and renewal terms For each date: - The exact contract language - What happens on that date (obligation, right, penalty, termination) - What party is responsible - What the consequence is if the date is missed - Whether the date is fixed or depends on a prior event Sort all dates chronologically from earliest to latest. Flag any dates that are ambiguous or circular (e.g., "within 30 days of the Effective Date" when the Effective Date is not defined). Do not assess whether the dates are reasonable or enforceable. Flag every ambiguity. You are an extraction and structuring tool. You are not legal advice.
