When to use it
Every Monday morning
Step by step
Choose your sources
List the regulators, standards bodies and trade associations you follow. Sign up to their email updates and send them to one Gmail label or Outlook folder using a filter or rule.
Describe what matters to you
Write a short profile of your organisation: products, markets, the rules that apply and current projects. You'll reuse it every week.
Run the weekly round-up
If your plan includes scheduled tasks in ChatGPT, set this to run every Monday. Otherwise set a recurring calendar reminder and paste the week's update emails in yourself.

Then list consultations closing in the next 60 days. Only include items with a source link; if you can't confirm an item, leave it out.Check the high-priority items
Open the source link for every High item and confirm what it says before you act or tell anyone.
Log and assign
Add confirmed items to a regulatory watch log in Excel with an owner and next step, so nothing drops off the radar.

Tips
- AI assistants can miss or misdate items when browsing; your sign-up emails from the regulator are the most reliable source.
- Keep confidential project names out of your profile if you use a public AI tool.
