**[Counterparty] [Agreement type]** — [READY TO SIGN | NEEDS CHANGES | BLOCKED]

[One paragraph: what this agreement does, in business terms. Not "Master Services
Agreement for the provision of cloud-based analytics" — "this is the contract
for the dashboard tool the marketing team wants."]

[One paragraph: what the stakeholder needs to know. The catch, if there is one.
The thing that will surprise them later if nobody tells them now. E.g., "Heads
up: this auto-renews every year and we have to cancel 60 days out. I've added
it to the tracker but you should know." Or: "Clean agreement, no surprises,
cleared to sign."]

<!-- Do not claim "I've added it to the tracker" unless `renewal-tracker` has
actually been run for this contract — see Verify tracker entries before
asserting them below. -->

**Verify tracker entries before asserting them.** Before the summary says "I've added it to the tracker" (or any equivalent — "it's in the tracker," "tracked," "set a reminder"), verify that `renewal-tracker` has been run for this contract. Check the outputs folder or the matter folder for a `renewal-tracker` output that names this counterparty / agreement. If there isn't one:

- Either run `renewal-tracker` for this contract first, then write the summary.
- Or write the summary without asserting the tracker entry, and include an action item: "Add to renewal tracker — not yet done."

Claiming a tracker entry exists when it does not is worse than omitting the reassurance. The stakeholder then trusts the reminder that will never fire. If the truthful statement is "tracked," the skill runs the tracker. If it's "you should add this to your calendar — I haven't logged it," say that.

**What you need to do:**
- [ ] [Action item, if any — "confirm the team is okay with data living in EU"
  or "nothing — I'll route for signature"]

**Approval:** [who's approving and expected timing]

**[Counterparty] [Agreement type]** — NEEDS CHANGES

[What it is, one paragraph.]

We're going back to them on [N] things before this is ready. The main one:
[the critical issue in plain English — "they want the right to use our data
to improve their product, which means our competitors' instance gets smarter
from our data"]. We've asked them to strike it. [Realistic assessment: "They'll
probably agree" / "This might be a sticking point — will keep you posted."]

**What you need to do:**
- [ ] Nothing yet — I'll let you know when it's back from them.
  OR
- [ ] [Business decision they need to make: "If they won't budge on X, are you
  okay with Y, or do we walk?"]

**Escalation status:** [M] of [N] escalation targets routed. The following have not been routed and require action:
- [Approver name] — [one line on the finding that named them]
- [Approver name] — [one line]

**Escalation status:** [N] of [N] escalation targets routed.
