# Regulatory Analysis

## Instructions
When analyzing a document or process for regulatory compliance:

1. **Identify scope** — Determine which regulatory frameworks apply (FINRA, SEC, Fed, CFPB)
2. **Map to rules** — Identify specific rules, notices, and guidance documents relevant to the subject
3. **Assess compliance** — Evaluate the subject against each applicable requirement
4. **Classify findings** — Rate each finding by severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFORMATIONAL)
5. **Recommend remediation** — Provide specific, actionable steps to address each finding
6. **Assess confidence** — Rate your confidence in each finding (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
7. **Validate citations** — Verify all cited rules exist and are current before finalizing

## Regulatory Priority Order
When multiple frameworks apply, prioritize in this order:
1. SEC rules and regulations (federal statute)
2. FINRA rules (SRO requirements)
3. Federal Reserve supervisory guidance
4. CFPB guidance and circulars
