  • Zero-Shot Prompt:
    • "Please follow these steps to rewrite the given paragraph/clause:
    1. Identify each provision within the paragraph/clause.
    2. Separate each provision into its own sentence, retaining as much of the original phrasing as possible.
    3. If a provision is too complex to be expressed in a single sentence, use the minimum number of sentences necessary to maintain clarity and coherence.
    4. Present the rewritten provisions in a numbered list format."
  • Prompt for one-shot:
    • "Please follow these steps to rewrite the given paragraph/clause, using the provided example as a guide:
    1. Identify each provision within the paragraph/clause.
    2. Separate each provision into its own sentence, retaining as much of the original phrasing as possible.
    3. If a provision is too complex to be expressed in a single sentence, use the minimum number of sentences necessary to maintain clarity and coherence.
    4. Present the rewritten provisions in a numbered list format.
    • Example:

      Original paragraph: The supplier shall deliver the goods within 30 days of receiving the order, provide a detailed invoice, and ensure that the goods meet all quality standards specified in Exhibit A. The buyer shall inspect the goods within 10 days of receipt and notify the supplier of any defects or non-conformities. If the buyer fails to notify the supplier within this timeframe, the goods shall be deemed accepted.

    • Rewritten provisions:
      1. The supplier shall deliver the goods within 30 days of receiving the order.
      2. The supplier shall provide a detailed invoice.
      3. The supplier shall ensure that the goods meet all quality standards specified in Exhibit A.
      4. The buyer shall inspect the goods within 10 days of receipt.
      5. The buyer shall notify the supplier of any defects or non-conformities within 10 days of receipt.
      6. If the buyer fails to notify the supplier within 10 days of receipt, the goods shall be deemed accepted.
  • Now, please rewrite the following paragraph/clause using the same approach:"
