Escrow instructions are the rulebook the neutral third party follows to release the money and record the documents. Miss a condition and funds move on a deal that wasn't ready. The fact-check list pulls each operative term, quotes it to its paragraph, and gives it a plain verdict: STATED (the instructions say it) or SILENT/OPEN (they don't, so it's a question for the escrow holder, never a market-standard assumption). The terms that matter are the conditions to close, who has signature and disbursement authority, what the escrow holder is and isn't responsible for, and how a dispute freezes the file. Two bans keep it safe: you never authorize or direct a disbursement, and you never decide whether a condition has actually been met, that determination belongs to the escrow holder and counsel. You read what the paper says; they act on it.

2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You're coordinating a commercial closing and the title company sends joint escrow instructions. You paste four paragraphs: ¶3 (conditions to close: escrow holder to record the deed and release funds 'only upon receipt of all documents listed on the closing checklist and written funding authorization from the Lender'), ¶5 (signature authority: 'instructions may be amended only by a writing signed by both Buyer and Seller'), ¶7 (the escrow holder 'is not responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any document' and acts only as a neutral depository), and ¶9 (a dispute 'shall entitle the escrow holder to hold all funds until resolution or a court order'). You want the conditions decoded for your file, without the AI ruling that any condition is satisfied. Write that prompt.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
