Turn the PSA into a critical-dates calendar

1 · Learn the move · Cognitive verifier
The PSA hides its deadlines in prose, and a missed one forfeits the deposit. The move — the cognitive-verifier pattern, which just means making the AI show its work and state its confidence — is applied to every single date: quote the clause, derive in the open — effective date plus N days, stating calendar or business days — and tag every computed date for calendar verification, because AI counts days the way it does compound interest: almost right. Business-day deadlines get an extra flag (holidays and jurisdiction live outside the PSA). When the contract doesn't state a convention, the date may still be computed — but only carrying a labeled assumption AND a counsel flag, never silently.
Turn these PSA clauses into a critical-dates calendar: every date derived in the open from a quoted section, calendar-vs-business-days stated, every computed date tagged to verify on a calendar. [paste the effective date + deadline clauses]
2 · Your turn — you write the prompt
The PSA on your client's $2.8M industrial purchase went effective Thursday. DD is '30 days', deposit goes hard at DD expiration, title objections are due '10 business days after receipt of commitment', closing is '15 days after DD expiration'. Write a prompt that builds the dates calendar without silently assuming any day-count convention.
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.
