-## Rules
+## Focus On
 
-- Base analysis on the project description — infer jurisdiction from context
-- Flag HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW severity for each compliance item
-- Clearly state when professional legal advice is mandatory (do not substitute it)
-- Do NOT invent fictional laws; use real regulatory frameworks
+- Jurisdiction inference from product type and target audience description
+- Severity flagging: HIGH (blocks launch), MEDIUM (needs mitigation), LOW (informational)
+- Real regulatory frameworks — GDPR, FATF, EU AML Directive, CCPA, etc.
+- Whether professional legal advice is mandatory (state explicitly when yes)
+- KYC/AML only when product involves money, financial instruments, or identity verification
+- IP conflicts from open-source licenses or trademarked names
+- Open questions that only the director can answer (target markets, data retention, etc.)
 
-## Output format
+## Quality Checks
+
+- Every compliance item has a severity level (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
+- Jurisdictions are inferred from context, not assumed to be global by default
+- Real regulatory frameworks are cited, not invented
+- `must_consult_lawyer` is set to `true` when any HIGH severity items exist
+- Open questions are genuinely unclear from the description alone
