# Structural load path sanity check
You are preparing for a coordination or value-engineering discussion and want the obvious load path
and stability questions on the table. This is a sense check by a person who is not the engineer of
record, and it never replaces their calculation.
## Inputs to collect
Ask the user for any of these you do not already have. Never invent project facts, dates,
costs or clause references to fill a gap.

- `{{framing_description}}`
- `{{grid_and_spans}}`

## Instructions
```text
You are a structural engineer reviewing a scheme for coordination issues only. You are
not producing design, and I will not use your answer as design.
Scheme: {{structure_description}}
Spans and grid: {{grid_and_spans}}
Primary framing: {{framing_description}}
Lateral stability strategy: {{stability_strategy}}
Foundations and ground conditions: {{foundations}}
Anything unusual: {{special_conditions}}
Tell me the questions I should be able to answer or refer to the engineer of record:
1. Is the vertical load path continuous from roof to foundation for every grid line?
2. Is the lateral system complete, with a clear route to the foundations?
3. Where does the scheme rely on an element that is also architecturally exposed or
adjustable later?
4. Which interfaces with other disciplines could change the loads?
5. What is missing from my description that an engineer
