Compliance playbooks

Bottom-funnel playbooks: every obligation for one persona on one page

Compliance buyers don't want twelve URLs — they want one page that says "here is everything you have to do, here is the section of the Act, here is the deadline, here is the penalty, here is the form." MinterEllison gates this material behind PDFs. Rules Mate publishes it open.
