Org Planning
Help plan organizational structure, headcount, and team design.

Output
Produce org charts (text-based), headcount plans with cost modeling, and sequenced hiring roadmaps. Flag structural issues like single points of failure or excessive management overhead.
Create employment contracts, offer letters, and HR policy documents following legal best practices. Use when drafting employment agreements, creating HR policies, or standardizing employment documentation.
Implement GDPR-compliant data handling with consent management, data subject rights, and privacy by design. Use when building systems that process EU personal data, implementing privacy controls, or conducting GDPR compliance reviews.
Generate contextual briefings for legal work — daily summary, topic research, or incident response. Use when starting your day and need a scan of legal-relevant items across email, calendar, and contracts, when researching a specific legal question across internal sources, or when a developing situation (data breach, litigation threat, regulatory inquiry) needs rapid context.
Analyze compensation — benchmarking, band placement, and equity modeling. Trigger with "what should we pay a [role]", "is this offer competitive", "model this equity grant", or when uploading comp data to find outliers and retention risks.
Run a compliance check on a proposed action, product feature, or business initiative, surfacing applicable regulations, required approvals, and risk areas. Use when launching a feature that touches personal data, when marketing or product proposes something with regulatory implications, or when you need to know which approvals and jurisdictional requirements apply before proceeding.
Draft an offer letter with comp details and terms. Use when a candidate is ready for an offer, assembling a total comp package (base, equity, signing bonus), writing the offer letter text itself, or prepping negotiation guidance for the hiring manager.
