(2) Cross-reference validation: checked every 'Section X' reference to verify it points to the correct section by title and content; verified all defined terms against definitions.json; checked all appendix/schedule references for consistency. (3) Substantive analysis: compared numerical values across sections for consistency (warranty periods, currency units, time periods); identified ambiguous or contradictory clauses; checked for undefined capitalized terms; identified missing survival provisions and logically inconsistent provisions."
