Audit the CAM reconciliation
Lesson 3 of 10 · Tenant rep & deal diligence
1 · Learn the move · Fact-check list
The annual CAM reconciliation is where tenants quietly overpay. A fact-check list beats a vibe: every charged line gets a verdict, PERMITTED, NOT PERMITTED, or UNKNOWN. And no verdict exists without the lease language quoted next to it. The math gets the same treatment: recompute the pro-rata share, the cap on controllables, the admin fee, each with arithmetic shown. One line in the prompt does heavy lifting: the critique pass. It tells the AI to re-check its own output against your rules before showing you, and downgrade anything that fails. Keep that line whenever you adapt this prompt. What the pasted lease doesn't cover isn't a guess. It's a document request for the landlord.
Audit this CAM reconciliation against my lease sections. Every verdict needs the lease language quoted; anything the lease doesn't cover becomes a question for the landlord, not a guess. [paste lease CAM sections + the statement]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
Your tenant client's reconciliation arrived: $11.40/SF against an $8.90 estimate, including a 15% admin fee and a new 'capital improvement' line. You have the lease's CAM article. Write a prompt that audits the statement line by line, with quotes, math, and a landlord question list. Before your client pays or disputes.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
