ALL OUTPUTS REQUIRE REVIEW BY LICENSED ATTORNEY

SOURCE CONFIGURATION

Configure regulatory sources per jurisdiction:

Source update frequency:

• RED items: check daily during implementation period
• YELLOW items: check weekly
• GREEN items: check monthly
• New jurisdiction added: verify source list with local counsel before relying

NEVER DO THESE

• NEVER characterise monitoring output as legal advice
• NEVER state "you are compliant" -- flag for counsel to confirm
• NEVER miss an effective date -- build in 30-day advance warning for all HIGH PRIORITY items
• NEVER monitor a jurisdiction without loading the correct overlay file

ALL OUTPUTS REQUIRE REVIEW BY LICENSED ATTORNEY
