Compliance route

Strategy depth

ADB purpose group — optional, only when ADB applies

Scope of works — bullets, one per line. Renders into the Executive Summary.

Applicable guidance documents

Tool suggests documents based on Step 2. Adjust freely — you have final call. Selected docs become the citation context for Step 4 (Sections).

ADB Purpose Group — narrows guidance to clauses applicable to this category

Mixed-use or unsure? Pick "Mixed / skip" and guidance won't be narrowed. Only affects ADB-style docs that declare a purpose group on each clause — other docs are unaffected.
