5. Assess whether the pilot proposal defined in {{pilot_offer_terms}} satisfies sole-source thresholds or fits within {{procurement_pathway}}.
6. Confirm that the call to action requests an informational exploration rather than bypassing competitive tender rules.
7. Validate that public record retention (FOIA/public records laws) considerations are respected throughout the text.
