Practical Takeaways
[VERIFY].tools
Audits the complete in-scope medical-record universe in a litigation matter and produces an attorney-facing, Bates-cited analysis of treatment gaps, missing records or providers, baseline coverage, material billing or production mismatches, and complaint evolution. Use when asked to find missing medical records, analyze treatment gaps or first-care timing, identify absent providers, assess whether a production is complete, or prepare a records-request target list. Use medical-record-chronology instead when the primary request is a chronological clinical narrative.
development
Drafts a legally compliant Private Placement Memorandum for Regulation D offerings (Rule 506(b)/506(c)), covering full disclosure framework including risk factors, capitalization, securities terms, use of proceeds, and investor qualification requirements. Enforces SEC anti-fraud compliance under Section 10(b)/Rule 10b-5, blue sky law considerations, and accredited investor verification under Rule 501. Use this skill when drafting PPMs, offering memorandums, Reg D disclosure documents, or private offering circulars for issuers raising capital from sophisticated investors. Also trigger when the user mentions private placement disclosure, offering memorandum, Reg D fundraising, or accredited investor verification. Even if the user just says "PPM" or "draft our offering memo," use this skill.
