## Usage note

Use this worksheet to prepare an organized request for qualified counsel. It is not legal advice and does not determine the law, legal risk, privilege, or required approval for a particular organization.

2. Assemble verified product facts, evidence, permissions, prior decisions, and known limitations.
3. Write prioritized legal questions and distinguish assumptions from established facts.
4. Submit through the approved legal process with deadline, owner, and fallback decision.
5. Apply and verify the response on the controlled final version and record re-review triggers.
