Canonical: https://aroai.com/skills/nz-regulatory-brief/

## When to use it

Use this for New Zealand law and regulators only. A search result is a lead, not proof that an obligation applies to your business.

## How it works

1. **Set the scope** Confirm the industry, topic, date window and the business activity under review.
2. **Find relevant updates** Search regulatory updates and legislation for the topic.
3. **Check the evidence** Read the cited page. Keep dates, and separate a proposal, consultation, guidance and a current requirement.
4. **Prepare an impact brief** State the evidence, likely affected work, open questions and a proposed owner for human review.

## Tools it uses

- [New Zealand regulatory updates](https://aroai.com/tools/nz_regulatory_updates): Search updates by industry and topic.
- [New Zealand legislation search](https://aroai.com/tools/nz_legislation_search): Find the relevant Act or section.
- [Read a public NZ or Australian web page](https://aroai.com/tools/extract): Read a cited page you already know.
- [NZ working-day count](https://aroai.com/tools/nz_working_days): Count working days to a deadline.

## Review points

- Do not treat an undated result as a current requirement.
- Check the exact effective date and legal status before acting.
- Label business-impact analysis as interpretation and confirm it with the responsible person.
