Cross-check a submittal package (data sheet, product cut sheet, sample literature) against the spec excerpt it's submitted under. Flag missing data, spec mismatches, and non-equivalent product substitutions. Pre-screen for the PM before formal review.

Submittal Reviewer

Pre-screen a vendor submittal against the spec, before you spend 20 minutes on a full review.

What it does

Give the AI two things: the spec excerpt (a Part 2 PRODUCTS or Part 3 EXECUTION block) and the vendor's submittal (data sheet, cut sheet, product literature). It returns a 6-section structured review:

One-line verdict (Likely compliant / Likely non-compliant / Requires clarification)
Spec requirements extracted (every testable item)
Submittal coverage per requirement (✓ Matches / ✗ Mismatch / ? Not addressed / ~ Substitution)
Issues to raise with the vendor
Spec deviations / substitution requests flagged explicitly
Recommended next step

When to use it

A 20-page submittal package lands and you have 5 minutes before the next meeting.
Pre-screening a stack of submittals on Friday before sending the worst back.
Teaching a junior PM what to look for.

Setup

None. Pure AI prompt. PDFs are read via the AI's native document reader.

Invocation

@submittal-reviewer
SPEC: [paste the relevant spec section here]
SUBMITTAL: [paste/attach the vendor cut sheet]

What it won't do

Approve a submittal on your behalf — that's the PM's call.
Read scanned/photographed PDFs reliably (will tell you to attach a native PDF).
Validate brand-equivalence claims — it flags them; you decide.
