answer-a-legal-question

What problem does it solve?

It helps founders quickly understand whether a legal concept or requirement applies to them, with a short memo that includes the answer, the reasoning, sources to review, and clear next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Short legal memo generation: Produces a ~200-400 word, verb-led memo with a bottom-line answer, supporting reasoning, and what to do next.
• Context-aware advising: Reads shared context (entity, data geography, standing agreements, risk posture, and escalation rules) and avoids re-answering already decided advice from prior memos.
• Source-backed research: Performs targeted research for regulation-based questions and cites primary authority and reputable guidance (no “probably” hedges; marks UNKNOWN where needed).
• Safety escalation: Flags sensitive/unusual topics for attorney review and uses explicit criteria (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, COPPA, international transfers, tax/securities beyond standard handling, litigation-adjacent issues, etc.).
• Atomic output workflow: Writes advice memos to a date-slugged file and appends a structured entry to outputs.json with an attorney-review flag.

Quick Start

Ask: "Do I need an NDA with investors?" and request a short memo with the bottom-line answer, the reasoning, cited sources, and the next move.
