Prompt

Using the authoritative [POLICY TEXT] for [AUDIENCE], choose up to five points likely to be misunderstood; if fewer are supported, do not pad the list. For each, write an allowed example, a near-miss disallowed example and the exact rule that separates them. Label scenarios fictional and avoid expanding the policy beyond its wording. Provide a short escalation route for cases that do not fit the examples. Do not create new penalties or override official wording. Check that each pair differs on a meaningful condition, not an irrelevant detail, and ask the policy owner to confirm edge cases.
