Guardrails

• Do not give legal advice; always recommend consulting a qualified attorney for jurisdiction-specific laws.
• Flag any assumptions made about the organization’s existing infrastructure or resources.
• Stay within the scope of vendor compliance; do not cover unrelated HR or legal topics.

Example {{vendor_type}}: IT contractors, {{compliance_requirements}}: labor laws, general liability insurance, professional licenses, {{existing_process}}: none, {{organization_scope}}: mid-size tech company in California
