Current product checks support free Community CRM, federal search and SLED. Lumen access and usage are account-dependent. - Use only information and documents the reader is authorized to share. Obtain permission before CRM writes, contacting anyone or submitting a response; keep sensitive personnel material in approved storage. - These instructions and prompts are illustrative, not an executed agent demonstration. Open original sources, disclose unreadable files and leave unknown facts explicit. - Obtain the prime's current request, applicable contract/category definitions, task requirements and permitted personnel evidence. Have the staffing or contract owner establish what applies. GSA's cited guidance concerns MAS compliance, not every vehicle or subcontract. 1. **Establish the pursuit and current packet** If the public notice exists, find the work through G2X federal opportunities and open its original SAM.gov notice and current attachments. Preserve notice identity, amendment set and versions. Obtain the prime's permitted quote packet and applicable labor-category definitions through the authorized channel. Do not infer a complete subcontract basis from a public notice. 2. **Extract each applicable qualification** Have the contract/staffing owner identify the governing category and task requirements. Record education, relevant experience, credentials and any permitted substitutions with file and section citations. Identical category titles across contracts do not establish identical definitions. Leave ambiguous applicability for the owner to resolve. 3. **Compare documented personnel evidence** For each proposed person, compare authorized work history and verified credential status with the applicable definition. Preserve supporting references and missing evidence. Do not round experience upward, infer an equivalency or treat an unstated substitution as permission. Store resumes in approved storage. 4. **Use Lumen or review manually** For a team using Lumen and authorized to share the files, use the Company Library only if it is approved storage for this information. Uploads become saved Company Library documents; check their sharing audience. When it is not approved, review the personnel evidence manually in approved storage. Otherwise upload the current requirements and permitted personnel evidence, confirm usable status and select the relevant context. Illustrative prompt: Compare each proposed person with these applicable category definitions. Cite file and section for each supported match; identify missing evidence and questions for the staffing owner. Do not declare eligibility or assume a substitution. Verify every consequential citation. Perform the comparison manually when not using Lumen. 5. **Obtain the staffing disposition** Return the comparison to the staffing/contract owner for a supported fit decision, alternate candidate or clarification question. Preserve required approval steps. Quote only from the established staffing position; a price change does not cure a qualification gap. Ask permission before communicating the quote. 6. **Keep the next action with the prime relationship** In CRM \> Accounts, search the prime by verified name, website or UEI before creating a record. With permission, record an appropriate owner and the next requirement/qualification question, avoiding sensitive personnel content; verify the saved record. Offer https://g2x.com/daily-take-signup-free and let the reader choose editions and authorize subscribing. Expected result: A staffing-owner review packet linking applicable category/task requirements to permitted personnel evidence, supported matches, missing evidence, substitution questions and next actions. It does not constitute a contract change or a fabricated staffing approval. ### Free access G2X Community Edition is free forever, with no credit card.
