- Include both primary regulations and subsidiary rules or guidance
Map by jurisdiction:

- US federal — FTC Act, CAN-SPAM, COPPA, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA enforcement
- US state-specific — CCPA/CPRA (California), VCDPA (Virginia), CPA (Colorado), etc.

Map by industry:

- Columns: key requirements, applicable jurisdiction, data types covered, current compliance status
- Rate compliance status: compliant / partially compliant / non-compliant / unknown
Identify highest-priority compliance gaps:
- Regulations where status is non-compliant with high enforcement risk
- Upcoming regulatory deadlines or new laws taking effect
- Areas where multiple regulations overlap with conflicting requirements
Write the artifact to .metapowers/legal/$ARGUMENTS/00-assess.md with heading:
