Jurisdiction and compliance
Tell Fusial which legal regime and compliance frameworks to apply when reviewing your contracts.
Two of the structured fields in your playbook do most of the work in calibrating the AI to your business: jurisdiction and compliance frameworks. They're worth picking deliberately.
Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction is the country whose law your team operates under by default. For US-based teams, you also pick a state (Delaware is the default).
The redline pipeline uses your jurisdiction to:
- Interpret governing-law and venue clauses against your preference.
- Apply jurisdiction-specific defaults (e.g., implied warranty disclaimer language, statute of limitations).
- Flag clauses that conflict with mandatory law in your jurisdiction.
You set jurisdiction during sign-up. Update it on the Playbook page when your team's primary operating jurisdiction changes — for example, when you expand into a new region. The next AI pass uses the new value.
Multi-jurisdictional contracts
The playbook holds one jurisdiction. If a specific contract crosses jurisdictions (a regional addendum, a contract whose governing law differs from your default), the AI still flags issues against your playbook's jurisdiction. Use the Custom notes field for any cross-border rules you want every pass to apply, or call out the deal context in your team's review notes.
Compliance frameworks
Compliance frameworks tell Fusial which regulatory or audit regimes apply to your business. The redline and Response pipelines use this list to flag clauses that conflict with the corresponding obligations and to draft rewrites that satisfy them.
You can select any combination of:
| Framework | Covers |
|---|---|
| GDPR | EU/UK personal-data processing. |
| CCPA | California consumer privacy rights. |
| HIPAA | US protected health information. |
| SOC 2 | AICPA Trust Services Criteria audit. |
| ISO 27001 | Information-security management. |
| PCI DSS | Payment-card data handling. |
Select only the frameworks you genuinely operate under. Adding frameworks you're not subject to floods redlines with irrelevant flags; missing frameworks you are subject to can let real issues slip through.
Editing
Open the Playbook page to update either field. Owners and admins can edit; members and viewers see the current values.
