Regulatory Deal Card Generator

Regulatory Deal Card Generator

Purpose

Produces a single self-contained HTML file that presents a regulation as an interactive "deal card" for use in negotiation, advisory, or training settings. The output clearly separates what the law compels from what it leaves open to the parties. This matters because most regulatory guides collapse the two together, which wastes negotiation capital on obligations that are not negotiable and leaves genuine flexibility on the table.

When to use

• Preparing for a contract negotiation where a specific regulation drives material clauses
• Briefing a commercial counterparty or client on what a regulation actually requires of them
• Building internal training material that needs to outlast a single briefing session
• Producing a client-facing deliverable that survives being emailed around without losing its structure
• Any situation where the question "must we, or may we?" needs to be answered clause-by-clause

Output format

A single HTML file, inline CSS and JS, no external dependencies beyond optional web fonts. Offline-capable. Print-friendly. Designed to be opened in a browser and used as a working tool, not a static reference.

Core visible components:

• Sticky navigation across regulation sections
• Per-requirement rows showing: the requirement with its article reference, the required response, the negotiable aspects, and a worked example
• Collapsible detail blocks for secondary material
• Hover tooltips for defined terms
• Risk badges (high / medium / low) per requirement
• Optional bilingual toggle where applicable

Core structural rule

Every row in the deal card answers three questions, in this order:

1. What does the regulation mandate? (with article citation)
2. What is fixed about how it must be done? (the non-negotiable floor)
3. What is open to negotiation? (implementation mechanism, timing, allocation between parties, documentation format, etc.)

A row that cannot distinguish (2) from (3) is a row that has not been thought through. Force the distinction even when it is uncomfortable, and flag genuine ambiguity explicitly rather than hiding it in neutral prose.

Workflow

1. Identify the regulation. Confirm official citation, current consolidated version, and date of last amendment.
