Use public sources for this exercise. Reuse existing authorization for account actions; ask only when necessary information or authority is missing. Return research and proposed questions without contacting the buyer, uploading private customer material or promising a schedule. 1. **Collect the current source package** Begin with G2X Federal opportunities or G2X SLED, as appropriate. Follow the original issuer link and check notice type, dates and amendments. Use the SAM guide or SLED guide. A manual path through the issuing portal is sufficient. Record each source URL and retrieval date. 2. **Identify retained and changed work** Extract explicit statements about the current environment, proposed change and required outcome. Cite the passage for each finding. Keep the Census RFI as an attributed example of preserving an existing system, not a specification for another buyer. Separate historical examples from the user's current opportunity. Do not infer an incumbent vendor or undocumented technical dependency. 3. **Map responsibilities and unknowns** For each activity, record the source-stated owner, required input and any preceding decision or approval. Where ownership is unspecified, mark it unresolved. Keep your proposed division of work separate from the buyer's requirements. Do not estimate customer labor, costs or durations without supplied evidence. Note which unknown could materially change the proposed approach and why. 4. **Compare public passages with Lumen if requested** With authorization for the named public files, use Lumen Add \> Add documents to upload them to Company Library. Proposed prompt: Identify what stays, what changes and who is explicitly responsible; cite file and page, and list missing assignments without inferring them. Check cited text and any omitted files manually. Follow Lumen guidance and current usage limits. Manual notes remain an alternative. 5. **Prepare the next discovery questions** Draft precise questions tied to unresolved ownership or prerequisites. Return them for the user's technical and sales review without sending them. Explain which answer could change the scope. If separately authorized to save public context in an existing account, reconcile the account first and verify the saved note; otherwise return the findings in conversation. Expected result: A sourced adoption map covering retained processes, proposed changes, documented customer and supplier tasks, and unresolved dependencies. Include a prioritized clarification question and suggested internal owner. Distinguish requirements, proposed assumptions and unknowns; no completed implementation or customer acceptance is claimed. ### Free access G2X Community Edition is free forever, with no credit card.
