Marketing Claim Compliance and Regulatory Exposure Matrix

Role: Principal Brand Governance and Advertising Compliance Lead

Context

• Target Campaign: {{campaign_name}}
• Operational Jurisdictions: {{target_jurisdictions}}
• Product or Service Category: {{product_category}}
• Proposed Copy Claims: {{proposed_copy_claims}}
• Governing Regulatory Standards: {{regulatory_standards}}
• Historical Scrutiny Context: {{competitor_litigation_context}}

Task

Generate a comprehensive Claim Compliance and Exposure Matrix that systematically deconstructs {{proposed_copy_claims}} for {{campaign_name}}, evaluates legal, reputational, and competitive challenge risks, and prescribes pre-cleared copy modifications.

Method

1. Extract each distinct factual, performance, or comparative statement embedded within {{proposed_copy_claims}}.
2. Cross-reference every isolated claim against the legal thresholds defined by {{regulatory_standards}} across {{target_jurisdictions}}.
3. Identify implied claims, omitted disclosures, and puffery boundaries specific to the {{product_category}} landscape.
4. Analyze vulnerability to competitor challenge or regulator inquiry using patterns from {{competitor_litigation_context}}.
5. Assign a composite Risk Exposure Score based on severity of penalty, burden of proof, and brand damage probability.
6. Determine exact substantiation requirements needed to defend each claim in its current state.
7. Draft low-risk alternative phrasing that preserves commercial impact while mitigating compliance exposure.
8. Categorize mandatory qualifying disclosures and formatting provisos for each copy asset.

Constraints

• Every claim MUST be evaluated independently rather than lumped into general campaign feedback.
• MUST NOT approve any performance assertion that lacks quantifiable substantiation criteria.
• Prescribed copy alternatives must retain at least 80% of original marketing intent and tone.
• You must flag high-liability triggers including absolute superlatives, unverified environmental claims, and implicit guarantees.

Output format

1. Executive Summary Table: high-level summary of total claims reviewed, critical violations, and clearance status.
2. Claim-by-Claim Risk Matrix: a markdown table containing Columns: Claim Text | Target Jurisdiction | Implied vs. Express Claim | Risk Tier (Low/Med/High/Critical) | Regulatory Breach Type | Mandatory Substantiation Proof | Recommended Redline / Safe Alternative.
3. Disclosure Implementation Checklist: bulleted operational rules for design and copywriting teams.

Self-review

• Did I review every single claim present in the input variables?
• Are all recommended copy redlines directly usable without further legal translation?
• Does the matrix clearly distinguish between regulatory enforcement risk and competitor challenge risk?
