legalcode-defined-term-audit

Extracts and audits all defined terms in one or more legal documents — flags unused (orphaned) definitions, terms used but never defined, circular definitions, inconsistent usage, overly broad definitions, precision gaps, shadowed definitions, and conflicting definitions across related documents. Use when conducting pre-execution quality review of any contract, agreement, policy, regulation, or legislation; during due diligence on acquired contract portfolios; after substantial redlining or document merging; before filing regulatory submissions; or when preparing complex multi-document transaction sets (loan facilities with schedules, M&A agreements, franchise disclosure documents, software license suites). Jurisdiction-agnostic with [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers. Triggers on: defined term audit, definition check, orphaned definitions, unused definitions, undefined terms, circular definitions, inconsistent definitions, definition section review, definition quality, overly broad definition, multi-document definition conflict, definition register, terms and definitions analysis, glossary audit.
