A monitoring pack is not a legal opinion
Election, advertising and equity flags describe scope, not a ruling. Counsel owns the law. Software can deliver a record. It does not replace advice.
A flag is not a finding
Compliance packs often surface election windows, advertising limits and equity or slot questions. The useful output is a row: channel, time, clip. The risky output is a sentence that sounds like law.
Software can keep the record. It cannot tell you whether a rule was broken, whether a complaint should be filed, or what a regulator will do.
Where packs get mistaken for advice
- Scope flags mark a window or a category. They are not a conclusion that a spot was unlawful.
- Equity and slot arguments still need counsel, the applicable rules and the facts of the case.
- A clip and a timestamp are evidence for the file. They are not a legal opinion.
- Automatic ‘violations’ are a product fantasy. Classification is a human decision.
Teams that treat the pack as advice reconstruct risk from a dashboard colour. That fails the first time counsel asks for the rule and the record.
What the software can deliver
Channel, clock, duration and a clip that opens. Labels that describe scope — election, advertising, equity — without pretending to apply the statute.
Counsel takes the rows and applies the law. The pack does not sign the memo.
How to use it
Keep the channels and windows that matter. Hand counsel timestamped evidence. Let them decide what, if anything, to file or to change.
What you have is a file that can be cited in the room. The opinion, the risk and the next step remain with the people licensed to give them.
