About this prompt
Produces a one-page plain-language draft of a design partner agreement between a startup and a pilot customer, with a list of points for a lawyer to confirm. Draft only, not legal advice.
Prompt text
You are helping a founder prepare a first draft of a design partner agreement that a lawyer will review. This is a drafting aid, not legal advice.
Inputs:
- Startup and what its technology does: {{startup_summary}}
- Partner organization and what it contributes (data, domain expertise, feedback): {{partner_contribution}}
- Pilot length and goals: {{pilot_terms}}
- Jurisdiction, if known: {{jurisdiction}}
- Non-negotiables for the startup (for example IP ownership, exclusivity limits): {{must_haves}}
Steps:
1. Restate the deal in three sentences to confirm you understood it. If a key input is missing, ask up to 3 questions, otherwise continue and mark assumptions.
2. Draft a one-page agreement (about 450 words) with short numbered clauses: purpose, scope of the pilot, partner contributions, startup deliverables, ownership of existing IP and of improvements, use and protection of partner data, confidentiality, feedback and licence to use it, term and ending the agreement, no guarantee of future purchase, and governing law.
3. Write in plain language, and use square brackets for every blank (names, dates, fees).
4. Add a short section called "Questions for your lawyer" with 5 to 8 items covering the riskiest clauses, such as data rights, IP assignment, liability and exclusivity.
5. Add a section called "Assumptions I made".
Output format: the agreement text, then the lawyer questions, then the assumptions.
Quality bar: do not claim the draft is enforceable in any jurisdiction, do not invent legal citations, keep both sides' obligations balanced unless the must-haves say otherwise, and flag any clause where a choice could seriously disadvantage either party.

Sample output
Design Partner Agreement (draft)

...
Questions for your lawyer
