Assess if {{target_audience}} includes minors, triggering {{regulatory_framework}} protections (like COPPA).
Identify required 'Disclaimers' (e.g., 'Results not typical', 'Paid endorsement') and their 'Clear and Conspicuous' placement.
Check for 'Negative Option' features or 'Dark Patterns' in the call-to-action.
Evaluate visual/audio 'Supers' for legibility and duration against {{regulatory_framework}} minimums.
Flag any potential 'Trademark Infringement' or 'Comparative Advertising' risks.

Constraints
