How to Write FedRAMP Moderate Tailoring Notes from a Baseline Inventory

FedRAMP notes invent an ATO date and a 3PAO firm. The inventory named AC-1 and AU-2. Write NO_DATA for AC-2.

Print the not-ATO-advice banner first

Write FedRAMP Moderate tailoring notes from a baseline inventory. Not ATO advice. Mark NO_DATA when the inventory is silent. Start by filling Inputs, not by asking the model to remember last week's run. If a field is blank, write NONE or NOT IN INPUTS and leave it blank through Generate. The card is built so the model cannot honestly invent a number, owner, URL, or command that you did not paste.

Paste these fields before you hit run:

Baseline inventory I lock (control IDs, implementation notes I may quote): [Inventory]
Baseline name I lock (or UNKNOWN): [Baseline]
System name I may use (or UNKNOWN): [System]
Words I must not use: [Banned]
What I must never invent (ATO dates, 3PAO firms, extra controls, inheritance claims): [Never]
Output format: [Format]
Language: [Lang]
Inheritance I may quote (or NONE): [Inheritance]
Audience I may name: [Audience]

That inventory is the honesty ledger. Anything that does not appear there is forbidden in the draft. If you catch yourself adding a nice-to-have after the run, you are no longer using the card. You are ghostwriting. Put the extra fact in Inputs and run again.

One row per control in the inventory

Generate is numbered on purpose. Do not skip a step because the first paragraph looked done. The early steps exist to stop later prose from smuggling claims.

Walk the Generate list in order:

1. Honesty ledger: Inventory control IDs, Baseline, System, Inheritance, Lang, Audience. Forbidden: invented ATO, invented 3PAO, extra controls.
2. Banner: not ATO advice, not a 3PAO letter, unofficial notes from Inventory only.
3. Row table: one row per Inventory control. Implementation quote or NO_DATA. Do not add AC-2 if Inventory omitted it.
4. Inheritance: quote Inheritance or write NONE. Do not invent a P-ATO from a hyperscaler.
5. Refuse list: CMMC L2 rows, ISO 27001 SoA, PCI SAQ, ATO date, FedRAMP marketplace URL not in Inputs.
6. System: quote System or write SYSTEM UNKNOWN.
7. Never: do not write authorization date 2024-11-01. Do not invent a 3PAO name.
8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

If a step asks for a version lock, quote the version from Inputs in the output. If a step asks for a refuse list, keep the refuse list in the published artifact, not in a sidebar you delete. Reviewers should see what the model was not allowed to do.

Mark NO_DATA when the inventory is silent

Most failures are the same shape: a missing field gets a confident fill. A conversion rate appears. A Gradle task appears. A flash point appears. A caption appears on a job that asked for slide text only. Your review is to search the draft for numbers, names, and commands, then grep Inputs. No match means cut.

Honor the constraints as hard stops, not vibes:

• FedRAMP Moderate notes from Inventory only. Not ATO advice and not CMMC.
• Mark NO_DATA when Inventory is silent. Never invent extra controls.
• Inheritance only if pasted.
• No emojis.

When the card says not legal advice, not certification, not an exam dump, or not a caption engine, that sentence belongs at the top of the output. Deleting it to look more finished is how you inherit risk.

Refuse CMMC and ISO 27001 rows

Finish with the compliance pass the prompt already asks for. Quote the banned-word hits. Cut them. Print character counts when the job has a cap. Print word counts when the job has a budget. List gaps as gaps. Five missing facts are more useful than one smooth paragraph.

Tags on the card (fedramp moderate tailoring, baseline inventory lock, no_data gaps not ato advice) are a reminder of the job shape, not an invitation to wander into a neighboring cluster. If you need a different surface, open a different PromptDig card rather than stretching this one.

Fill the card, then run

Replace every bracket. Run on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Read the ledger first, then the artifact. If the model invents a commit, KPI, DOI, PEL, bid, or logo, discard the run. Tighten Inputs. Run again. Share the filled card that survived, not the first draft that sounded done.
