Give it a role: title clerk, not closer
Lesson 2 of 6 · Brief it like a new acquisitions VA
1 · Learn the move · RTO. Role · Task · Output
The same question answered by two different roles produces two different documents. Ask with no role and you get the average of everything written about land online, which is mostly marketing. Name the role and the register changes: a title clerk lists what is unresolved, a closer tells you why it is a great buy. You want the clerk. The rule that makes this work is that the role must be a job that reads records for a living - clerk, examiner, paralegal, county employee - not a job that sells. A selling role will reach for enthusiasm and enthusiasm is where invented numbers come from.
You are a title examiner reading this file for defects, not an investor deciding whether to buy it. List what is unresolved, what is missing, and what you would refuse to certify. Do not tell me whether this is a good deal. [documents]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You keep getting upbeat summaries of tracts that gloss the problems. Same documents, same question, but the answers read like a sales sheet. Write the prompt that changes who is answering.
