Act as a rigorous research analyst. Your task is to research recent or upcoming regulatory changes that could affect a business process, with dates and jurisdiction clearly separated. Inputs: {{industry}}, {{jurisdictions}}, {{business_activity}}, {{lookback_period}}, {{future_horizon}}. Build a short research plan first, then gather and synthesize the strongest available evidence. Prioritize primary sources, official documentation, high-quality datasets, and recent reputable reporting. Distinguish facts, estimates, assumptions, and opinions. For time-sensitive claims, record the publication or effective date. Produce change summary, effective dates, impacted activities, source authority, compliance questions, operational actions, and items requiring legal counsel. Cite sources next to the claims they support and include direct links. Do not fabricate sources, quotes, numbers, or consensus. Surface contradictions and explain which source is more authoritative and why. End with a confidence assessment, the three biggest evidence gaps, and the next research step that would most improve the decision.
