## For agents

Compare warranty start events for a government equipment quote

- A user-selected requirement, its current official warranty provisions and authorized access to the manufacturer terms for the exact offered models. Use public sources for optional Lumen analysis. Keep nonpublic quotes and negotiated terms in the organization’s approved workspace. This task produces a research comparison, not a legal determination or permission to contact a supplier.

1. **Collect the relevant versions** Start with the selected opportunity in G2X SLED and follow its official source to the current documents and amendments. Record the solicitation identifier, document date and warranty page. Obtain the manufacturer’s applicable product terms and warranty card; verify the model and version. If only general terms are available, label product-specific applicability unresolved.

2. **Extract the start event and duration** For each source, record the covered product, start event, duration or duration formula, and exact page. Keep buyer requirements, manufacturer terms, proposed exceptions and final agreed terms distinct. In the historical JP14001 pair cited above, the comparison concerns a buyer requirement and a manufacturer proposal; do not present either as proof of the final agreement or current product coverage.

3. **Map the planned sequence** Record shipment, delivery, installation and acceptance for each relevant delivery group. Label dates confirmed, planned or unknown and retain their sources. Do not calculate a coverage gap when the applicable product duration or agreed start event is missing. Report the missing input and the person or team that can confirm it, without inventing an owner.

4. **Use optional document assistance carefully** If authorized and available, use Lumen’s Add → Add documents to select the public files; uploads go to Company Library. Confirm the selected document set before asking: “Compare warranty start events and duration clauses in these documents. Cite each page, distinguish requirements from proposed exceptions, and list missing product-specific evidence. Do not decide which term governs.” Verify every extracted passage in the original and ask it to identify any unsupported inference. Parsing and preview usage limits may apply; perform the same extraction manually if needed.

5. **Return the unresolved decision** Provide the sourced comparison, timeline and a precise clarification question for each unresolved item. Identify the authorized next step and preserve proposed exceptions separately. Do not send the question, approve the quote, alter terms or mark a gap resolved without the user’s authority and supporting evidence.

Expected result: A concise warranty comparison with product identity, buyer and offered start events, sourced durations, document versions and pages, planned milestone dates, and unresolved confirmations. State what cannot yet be concluded. No actual coverage loss or legal outcome is inferred.
