# Example: Capped-Fee or AFA Review

Use this reference when the matter is not a plain hourly-rate review and the user wants a prompt or output skeleton for a capped-fee, blended-rate, phased-fee, or other AFA arrangement.

## Example Prompt
Use $outside-counsel-billing-performance-reviewer to review this matter billed under a capped-fee and blended-rate arrangement. Confirm whether the invoices comply with the engagement terms, approved staffing plan, and budget phases; identify any charges outside the cap mechanics or agreed staffing assumptions; and draft a summary for Legal Ops and Finance. Distinguish fee-structure issues from standard hourly-rate issues and do not treat challenged value as realized savings.
