Scope
Define the policy, framework, jurisdiction, owner, and review question.
01 · Workflow
Use AI to prepare review, not provide approval.
The reference framework must be current, authorized, and selected by a qualified person. AI should never be represented as counsel, an auditor, a compliance authority, or the final policy approver.
Map
Connect policy passages to relevant framework provisions and evidence.
Flag
Identify omissions, ambiguity, contradictions, stale references, and owner questions.
Escalate
Qualified reviewers assess every flag and determine remediation.
02 · Prompt example
Explicit limits produce safer outputs.
The prompt asks for review questions, not unsupported declarations of compliance.
Policy issue finder
Compare the supplied policy only against the supplied reference. Identify passages that may warrant expert review. For each, provide the policy citation, reference citation, reason for review, and uncertainty. Do not state that the policy is compliant or noncompliant.
Required checks
- Confirm the reference is current and applicable
- Verify every policy and framework citation
- Discard interpretations outside the stated scope
- Assign each issue to a qualified owner
03 · Example output
An issue log, not a legal conclusion.
| Review question | Source basis | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Is the named owner still the accountable role? | Policy section 2.1; org model changed | Owner verification needed |
| Does the retention period match the approved schedule? | Policy section 6; schedule reference supplied | Expert comparison needed |
| Is the exception process sufficiently defined? | Policy section 8 contains no approval path | Drafting review needed |

Designed around escalation.
No legal conclusions
Outputs are review aids and must not be described as legal or regulatory advice.
Current references
A qualified owner confirms applicability and version before analysis begins.
Mandatory expert review
No flagged issue is accepted, rejected, or remediated solely on model output.
Controlled governance workflow
