Example prompt: Can you draft a formal RFP for my landscaping company, Dallas Green Works, looking to hire a software vendor to improve our customer scheduling over the next 8 weeks? The audience is potential software vendors and here's my project background: we currently manage bookings manually via phone and spreadsheet, serve about 200 customers a month, and need a solution that integrates with QuickBooks.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to rapidly produce a structured, professional RFP document from raw project notes or a brief, especially for small-to-medium business procurement scenarios. It is particularly useful when the user has unstructured source material and needs it organized into formal RFP sections (background, scope, evaluation criteria, timeline) without manual formatting. Prefer this over generic LLM document generation when you want structured provenance tracking, explicit assumption logging, and evidence gap identification built into the output.

## Known failure modes

- Brief or source_text too short (below minLength threshold) returns a validation error
- Source text exceeds 32,000 character limit causing rejection
- Insufficient context in brief leading to heavily assumption-laden output with many evidence gaps
- Ambiguous audience specification resulting in generic RFP sections
- Network or payment failure returning 402 or 5xx status
- Generated document marked requires_human_review=true when critical fields are missing

## How this service works

Draft an RFP with background, scope, response format, evaluation criteria, and timeline placeholders. Uses buyer-supplied information only; no external research or outbound actions. Returns a draft for human review.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a full RFP draft as a structured text artifact, a summary of what was drafted, a list of assumptions made, identified evidence gaps (missing information that should be filled in), a provenance block indicating data sources, and a flag indicating whether human review is required before sending.
