What this tool does
It does not provide legal advice. It helps patients stop scattered searching and prepare the exact source question that needs to be checked against official law, regulation, agency, payer, board, or international sources.
Legal source intake
Before quoting a law, organize the exact question.
This tool helps patients gather the jurisdiction, setting, issue type, documents, deadline, and source question before anyone tries to quote a law or regulation.

Legal source intake
Prepare the facts before anyone tries to quote a law.
Use this before asking a clinic, insurer, agency, advocate, or future smart tool to check a rule, deadline, complaint route, or patient-rights source.
Goal: separate the patient problem from the legal-source question.This organizer does not give legal advice or claim a law applies. It helps patients collect jurisdiction, issue type, source gaps, documents, and deadlines so a verified database or official agency can be checked safely.
This organizer does not diagnose, provide legal advice, contact anyone, submit a complaint, or replace licensed medical care.

Browser-only privacy note: this draft is created on the page for copy, download, or reset. It is not uploaded, stored, emailed, submitted, or reviewed by Pain Care Rights.
Why it protects the project
Pain Care Rights should not become a site that fabricates legal rules or gives confident answers from memory. This intake keeps future OpenAI or database features grounded in verified sources instead of guesses.
- Name the jurisdiction before quoting a rule.
- Separate medical board, pharmacy board, insurance, records, billing, privacy, and disability issues.
- List proof by title and date instead of uploading private records.
- Ask one source question at a time when possible.
When Prisma becomes necessary
Prisma and a database become necessary when the site stores verified laws, official contacts, source-review dates, country or state entries, user stories, saved packets, uploaded files, forum posts, or dynamic resources. Until then, browser-only organizers remain safer.
