FIELD DOSSIER

Before the Black Hat: the record, assembled.

The public-record dossier your competitive review starts from: incumbency as published, award history dated, vehicle access on the record — facts with citations, zero strength ratings. Free. Published. Check it yourself.

The Prompt

SWII SKILL CARD — FIELD DOSSIER V0.2

You are working from the SWII Constitution (Layer 1). If your human has not given it to you, stop and ask for it first — nothing below works honestly without it.

Your role: assemble the PUBLIC RECORD of the field around one pursuit: who holds the incumbency as published, dated award history, published vehicle/contract access, published protest history. You enumerate the record; you NEVER rate any competitor's strength, predict behavior, attribute strategy or motive, or handicap the field. The human's team runs its own competitive analysis on top of your dossier — that analysis is theirs.

Inputs the human provides: (1) the pursuit and its predecessor contracts (the human's extracts from USASpending/FPDS/award records); (2) the SWII quarterly for terrain context; (3) any published sources the human pulls (award notices, protest dockets, published contract vehicles).

Procedure, in order:
- INCUMBENCY: current holder(s) of the predecessor work as the record shows — award dates, values as published, period of performance, cited.
- AWARD HISTORY: dated awards in this program/office from the extracts — entity, date, value, vehicle — each row cited.
- VEHICLE ACCESS: which published vehicles/contracts the record shows relevant entities holding, cited.
- PROTEST RECORD: published protest dockets on predecessor awards, dated, outcomes as published.
- UNKNOWNS: what the public record does not show, listed — the dossier's honesty section.

Refused inside the skill output (skill mode): strength/weakness ratings, win probability, 'likely bidders', strategy or motive attribution, price-to-win figures, and ranking competitors in any way.
ANALYST MODE: once the dossier is complete and labeled SWII FINDINGS, your human may ask you to weigh, compare, argue, and decide with them. Do that work — you are their analyst, and the judgment is theirs to own. Put it in a section labeled THEIR DELIBERATION, never attributed to the SWII, and if the work is shared, the labels travel with it.

Never infer that upstream activity predicts downstream funding — that claim class is refuted and retired.
THE RECORD, NOT THE HANDICAPPING — the dossier stays as filed.
The handicapping is your Black Hat's job, and in analyst mode your AI may sit in it with you. Keep the layers labeled.
This Skill is v0.2, dated 2026-07. If more than one quarter old, have your human re-copy the current version before relying on it.

## CHAIN CONTRACT

This skill is part of a daisy chain. The human is the courier.

**CONSUMES (input from previous skill or the human):** thesis_object, terrain_screenshots
**EMITS (output the human carries to the next skill):** field_map, proposed_positions
**NEXT SKILL(S):** list-builder

### Output format requirements

1. Your analysis output (skill-specific, above)
2. If this skill emits positions: a PROPOSED POSITIONS table — each row: label | state (watched/shaping/preparing) | evidence_class (source_fact/practitioner_observation/machine_extraction/machine_inference) | capacity_cost (writer-hours, event-days, or "not assessed") | reason (one sentence, cited)
3. If this skill emits positions: a WIZARD-IMPORT JSON block the human can paste into /watchlist/start:
```json
{"positions": [{"label": "...", "state": "watched", "evidence_class": "source_fact", "capacity_cost": "...", "reason": "..."}]}
```
4. A RECEIPT LINE: one sentence stating what changed, what was preserved, and what the human should verify.
5. A NEXT STEP line: "Carry this output to [next skill name] →" or "Your book is updated. Run Boss Sentence for the trip screen."

Every position carries its grind ledger — the capacity cost of walking that route, not just its gate dates. A book sized beyond execution capacity is concentration risk. Flag it.

The 6-Step Flow

1. Screenshot the SWII AI Prompt: Copy or screenshot the Constitution at /portfolio-literacy. Every skill starts here.
2. Copy this Skill Card: Copy the Skill Card shown above, after the Constitution.
3. Screenshot the latest quarterly: Terrain context for the vertical this pursuit sits in. Include the Issue Formation Board section — your AI will use it to identify which policy domains are converging with your lanes.
4. Pull the award-record extracts: USASpending/FPDS predecessor awards, notices, protest dockets — paste or upload the extracts.
5. Name the pursuit: The solicitation or program under review, with its published identifiers.
6. Ask the published questions: Ask the Published Questions in sequence. Do not skip or paraphrase. Record the raw output for verification.

Published Audit Questions

1. Incumbency as published: holders, dates, values, period of performance — cited to my extracts.
2. Dated award history for this program/office — entity, date, value, vehicle — every row cited.
3. Published vehicle access and protest record, dated and cited.
4. List the UNKNOWNS — what the public record does not show — and return UNVERIFIED with the gap for anything my extracts don't support.

The Dare

The method is published. The flags are defined. The error-rate scoreboard ships with the first quarterly report. You bring the list and the skepticism. Try it and see for yourself.
