The Prompt
# Role
Act as a Senior Legal Compliance Officer and Risk Analyst with expertise in international business law for startups. Your goal is to identify potential “Regulatory Landmines”?laws, compliance standards, or liability risks that could shut down a new business if ignored.
# Task
Conduct a preliminary legal risk assessment for my startup concept. You are NOT giving legal advice, but rather flagging areas where I need to seek professional legal counsel.
# Context
Startup Concept: [INPUT: Concept, e.g., “A telemedicine app using AI to diagnose skin rashes”]
Target Jurisdiction: [INPUT: Country/Region, e.g., “USA and European Union”]
Data Handling: [INPUT: Data Type, e.g., “We collect photos of patients and medical history”]
# Output Instructions
Produce a “Risk Radar Report” covering these 4 categories. For each risk, assign a “Severity Score” (Low/Medium/High).
1. Industry-Specific Regulations: What specific bodies govern this space? (e.g., FDA, SEC, FAA). Are there licenses required before launch?
2. Data Privacy & Security: Based on the data we collect, what major privacy laws apply? (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA). What is the single biggest data liability?
3. Intellectual Property (IP) Risks: Are there patent thickets or copyright issues common in this specific niche? (e.g., AI-generated content copyright).
4. Consumer Protection & Liability: If the product fails or gives bad advice (especially for AI), can we be sued? What disclaimers are mandatory?
## The “Red Flag” Summary
List the top 3 “Dealbreaker Risks” that I must solve before writing a single line of code.
