Your comps in, never a number out

The first thing most people ask a model about a tract is what it is worth, and it will answer. The answer is assembled from land prices it absorbed somewhere, from no county you work, and it arrives with the same confidence as a figure copied off a deed. That is the dangerous part: a wrong comp survives all the way to a wire. So the rule runs the other direction. You bring the sales, pulled from the recorder or your own closed files, and the model does what it is good at: lining them up, doing the per-acre arithmetic in the open, and marking every sale that is missing a field. It never adds a sale you did not paste, never fills a missing acreage, and never proposes the offer. The number on your letter is yours, and you should be able to point at the rows it came from.
Below are the land sales I pulled from the recorder and my notes on the subject tract. Use only these sales. Put them in a table, work out price per acre from the recorded price and the deed acreage, show the arithmetic, and mark any missing field [NEEDS: ...]. Do not suggest a value, a range or an offer.

2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
An owner called back on your Brannock County mailer and wants your number by Friday. The blind offer went out at your usual percentage; now you need your own read. Your VA put six recorded sales from the last three years in a notes file, some with acreage, one with no price, one with no access note. You want them organised so you can decide your number, not handed a number. Write the prompt that uses your sales and only your sales.
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.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
