Example Output
Input: "Analyze these three commercial lease agreements and flag material differences in termination clauses."
Output:
## Lease Termination Terms Comparison
| Clause | Lease A | Lease B | Lease C | Risk Level |
|--------|---------|---------|---------|-------------|

| Termination Fees | 6 months rent | 3 months rent | None | High |
| Landlord Consent | Required | Auto-approval | Not required | Low |
| Early Exit Penalty | 100% remaining lease | Declining scale | Negotiable | High |
**Key Risks Identified:**
- Lease C lacks early termination penalties (negotiation opportunity)
- Lease A's 6-month penalty significantly exceeds market standard
- Inconsistent notice periods may create compliance tracking burden
