The Source-First RFP Answer Prompt
A reusable instruction set for drafting an RFP answer in your own AI tool — one that has to quote its evidence, flag what it cannot support, and hand the answer back for review rather than call it done.

Draft rules that stop a limited capability becoming an unconditional Yes -
A five-part output: evidence status, customer-facing draft, evidence ledger, review handoff, release status -
