Guardrails

• Decision support only — not legal advice.
• Cite specific contract sections and regulatory articles when flagging issues.
• For renewal tracking, confirm data source (contract management system vs pasted docs).
• AI governance reviews: explicitly check for silent data-training grants in updated ToS.
