## When to use it

- Supplier due diligence
- Export-control review prep
- Safety documentation tracking
- Policy monitoring

## Steps

1. **Collect regulated inputs** — List suppliers, jurisdictions, product categories, certifications, contracts, quality incidents, and upcoming review dates. Tool: Airtable. Expected output: A structured compliance input table.
2. **Monitor policy and supplier signals** — Search for relevant regulatory updates, sanctions, supplier news, recalls, and certification changes from public sources. Tool: Perplexity. Expected output: A sourced signal list.
3. **Draft a compliance brief** — Summarize changes, affected suppliers, possible obligations, evidence links, and open questions for qualified legal or compliance review. Tool: Claude. Expected output: A review-ready compliance brief.
4. **Create owner actions** — Turn the brief into tasks for documentation, supplier follow-up, legal review, and operations risk assessment. Tool: Notion. Expected output: Owner-assigned compliance tasks.
5. **Escalate high-risk items** — Send items involving export control, sanctions, safety incidents, or incomplete records to a restricted review channel. Tool: Slack. Expected output: A controlled escalation trail.
