Access, easements and the landlocked read
Lesson 2 of 6 · Diligence before the wire
1 · Learn the move · Flipped interaction
Access is the question most likely to change what a tract is, and the one most often answered from a map line or a seller's memory. Frontage on a map is not a recorded right to enter. A two-track in use for forty years is not an easement of record. A tract that looks reachable on an aerial can be landlocked on paper. So do not ask the model 'does this have access'. Flip it: have it interview you first about which documents you actually hold, one question at a time, and then read only what you produce. The interview finds the missing instrument before any conclusion gets written, and it catches the quiet mismatch, such as an easement that benefits a different tract than the one you are buying. The read ends with what the record shows and who confirms it. Whether access exists is the title company's, the surveyor's and counsel's call.
Before you say anything about access to this tract, interview me. Ask one question at a time about the documents I hold: vesting deed, recorded easements, plat, road status, title exceptions. Wait for each answer. Then read only what I paste and tell me what the record shows, what it does not, and who confirms. Never conclude that access exists or does not.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
The seller of a tract in Sedge County says you 'come in on the old logging road, always have'. You have a deed, a copy of something from 1974 the seller calls 'the easement', and a county map. Write the prompt that makes the model ask for the right papers before it reads anything.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
