## Prompt

```text
Summarize what each person contributed to my project.

**Project and outcome:** [WHAT WE DELIVERED and the results]
**Team members and roles:** [NAMES or roles]
**Evidence:** [PASTE tracker exports, status reports, meeting notes, commit or ticket logs, peer comments]
**Purpose:** [thank-you note / performance review input / project close report / nominating for an award]

For each person:
1. Their main contributions, as concrete outcomes ("built the data pipeline that cut report time from 2 days to 2 hours"), not activities.
2. Less visible work that held the project together: unblocking others, mentoring, documentation, stakeholder handling, fixing problems early.
3. Skills they showed.
4. The evidence each point comes from.

Return:
1. A table: Person | Key contributions | Behind-the-scenes contributions | Evidence source.
2. A 2-3 sentence summary per person in the style suited to my purpose.
3. People whose contribution is thin in the records, so I can check before concluding they did little. Records often miss coordination and support work.

Only include contributions supported by the evidence. Use [CONFIRM] for anything unclear. Keep language specific and even-handed across people, and check that the summaries don't reflect bias around who speaks up most. If this feeds performance reviews, use it as one input alongside the person's manager and your company's review process, not as the rating itself.
