Research the regulatory landscape for {{feature/capability}} across {{regions: e.g. US, UK, EU}}.
For each region, cover:
- **Primary regulators** — agency or body that owns this area
- **Live regulations** — name, scope, enforcement date, who they apply to
- **Recent guidance** — agency announcements, enforcement actions, public consultations in the last 18 months
- **Pending legislation** — bills moving through, expected timeline
- **Penalty regime** — what enforcement actually looks like (fines, injunctions, criminal exposure)
- **Notable enforcement actions in this area** — last 12 months, who got fined, why
Output:
## Per-region briefing
For each region: 4–6 bullets covering the above, with citations.
## Comparison table
| Region | What's clearly OK | What's clearly NOT OK | What's ambiguous | Risk if we ignore |
|---|---|---|---|---|
## Implications for our product
- What we'd have to build to be compliant in each region
- What we'd have to NOT build / disable in each region
- The cheapest region to launch in first if we phase
- Anything that requires legal review (don't assume legal will catch it — flag it)
## Sources
Numbered citations with URLs. No claim without a source.
Hard rules:
- Date every regulation cited — the field changes fast
- Distinguish "law in force" from "proposed bill" from "regulatory guidance"
- If something is unclear from public sources, write "ambiguous — needs legal review" rather than guessing
- This is research, not legal advice — say that in the outputregulatorycomplianceresearch
