## For agents

Build a source-linked training delivery workload breakdown that separates one-time setup, per-cohort logistics, participant support costs, responsibility assumptions, and open bidding questions before pricing.

- A user-defined requirement or target jurisdiction, the original public procurement documents, and access needed for any chosen G2X account actions. Reuse existing authorization; ask only if missing for uploads or record changes. Return findings in conversation by default. Do not contact anyone or subscribe the user.

1. **Collect the requirement** Find the relevant state/local/education opportunity at https://g2x.com/app/opportunities/sled and consult https://g2x.com/docs/find-work/find-state-and-local-work. Retrieve the current solicitation, attachments and Q&A from the issuing portal. Confirm status and deadlines; identify the buying organization and intended audience. Record file versions and source links.

2. **Translate the scope into workload** List the duties the actual package assigns to the contractor, with file and section citations. Distinguish preparation, recurring session or cohort work, and follow-up. Identify which quantities drive each duty and which party supplies the resources. Do not impose a historical solicitation’s requirements on this one. Keep unknown quantities and ambiguous responsibilities visible.

3. **Obtain an estimating basis** Have the user’s delivery and finance owners provide relevant effort and cost assumptions. Separate labor estimates, external purchases and any participant expenses assigned by the contract. Check whether the stated total includes those expenses. Do not invent rates, hours, cohort counts or reimbursement totals, or treat a historical ceiling as a market rate. Return missing inputs instead of a fabricated estimate.

4. **Use optional cited extraction** If the user wants Lumen extraction and has authorized the public files, select Add \> Add documents to upload them to Company Library. See https://g2x.com/docs/lumen/ask-a-good-question and current access at https://g2x.com/pricing. Illustrative prompt, not executed for this article: "List the training delivery and support duties in these public solicitation files and Q&A. Cite the file and page or section. Identify responsible parties, quantities that drive the work, and unresolved scope questions. Do not estimate hours or prices." Manually check the citations. Do not upload private customer, company or personnel files.

5. **Prepare the review and next action** Return the workload breakdown, estimating basis, unanswered questions and responsibility assumptions in conversation. If already authorized, search for the existing agency account and update its notes and dated next action using https://g2x.com/docs/run-a-pipeline/track-an-account; read back the save and preserve unrelated content. Ask only for missing write authority. Draft questions for the designated procurement channel without sending them or submitting a proposal.

Expected result: A source-linked training workload breakdown delivered in conversation, separating one-time setup, per-cohort delivery and participant support tasks, responsibility assumptions, unknown quantities for delivery and finance owners, and draft buyer questions, plus an optional confirmed CRM account next action.
