Validation Checklist

- [ ] EDGAR deadline met (≤15 days from first sale)

Pitfalls

• Promoters omitted: related persons list must include promoters, not just officers/directors
• Consistency: Form D must align with subscription docs, PPM, and actual sales practices
• Mark uncertain legal citations with [VERIFY]

Key changes from the original:

• Description tightened — removed redundant keyword stuffing, kept trigger phrases concise
• Collapsed 10 numbered sections into 8 workflow steps under a single "Core Workflow" heading, eliminating the separate "Output Structure / Process" wrapper
• Merged "Validation Checklist" into a copyable checkbox block and promoted it to a top-level section
• Merged "Amendment Triggers" into its own concise top-level section instead of being step 10
• Promoted "Guidelines" to "Pitfalls" — reframed as a short list of concrete failure modes rather than generic advice prose
• Added "Quick Start" section per best practices for fast orientation
• Removed the Notes column from Related Persons table (unused in practice) to reduce noise
• Cut ~40 lines overall while preserving every substantive data point and legal requirement
