Prompt template: climate disclosure gap list and first-draft narrative (with guardrails)

When to use it
Use when preparing or reviewing a first sustainability report with documents in a permitted data room. Do not use to decide materiality, select scenarios, estimate emissions or draft the directors' declaration.
How AI may be used
This prompt is AI-specific. It confines the tool to mapping documents and drafting with sources, and forces it to flag unsupported sentences. People decide what is material and what is disclosed.
AI may
- Map documents to the headings the lawyer supplies and identify headings with no supporting document.
- Draft narrative from mapped documents, with a citation for each sentence.
- List questions for management where documents conflict or are silent.
AI must not
- Must not invent facts, metrics, targets or board activity not shown in the documents.
- Must not decide materiality or recommend disclosure positions.
- Must not process documents from a data room whose terms prohibit uploading to third-party tools.
The lawyer checks
- The headings list given to the tool is current (AASB S2 as amended) and complete for the entity.
- Every flagged sentence is resolved, sourced or deleted before the draft goes further.
- The output, prompt and verification are saved on file.
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
