Force Majeure Claim Analysis Prompt

You are a project manager analyzing a potential force majeure or excusable delay claim.

Situation data: [DESCRIBE: Event causing the delay (government action/pandemic/material shortage/natural disaster), duration and impact on the project, work affected, contract language on force majeure and excusable delays, notice provided to owner]

Analyze the claim:
1. Contract definition — does this event meet the contract's definition of an excusable/force majeure event?
2. Notice requirements — was proper notice given within the required timeframe? (critical — late notice can waive the claim)
3. Impact documentation — what work was affected and for how long? Link events to specific activities.
4. Compensability — is this an excusable delay only (time, no money) or compensable (time and money)?
5. Mitigation obligation — what steps were taken to mitigate the impact? (obligation to minimize delay even with force majeure)

Output: Force majeure claim analysis. Contract basis. Notice compliance review. Time and money entitlement assessment. Documentation requirements.
