What I noticed
International restaurant expansion turns a growth plan into a coordinated legal-operations problem: market entry, leases, employment, food and allergen rules, cross-border supply, trademarks, privacy, AI use, and consumer obligations arrive on different clocks and in different jurisdictions. A conventional memo can identify issues once; an operating team needs a system that preserves sources, urgency, ownership, and counsel-escalation decisions over time.
What I researched
Using publicly available information, the concept maps an expansion scenario across the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, Germany, Poland, and possible future markets. Its 27-signal model scores impact, complexity, and urgency; distinguishes critical, high, medium, and low items; identifies issues requiring outside counsel; and connects each signal to a source library and proposed next action.
What exists
A multi-jurisdiction expansion-intelligence interface covering the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Poland.
Who it serves
A restaurant group evaluating international expansion and the advisors supporting it.
What it demonstrates
Organization-specific research, cross-border issue mapping, regulatory intelligence, and pre-proposal product design.
Current evidence
The running dashboard carries 27 scored signals across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Poland: 15 rated critical, 5 high, and 18 marked as requiring attorney confirmation before action. Scores combine business impact, legal complexity and urgency on a 15-point scale, banded critical at 13–15 down to informational at 1–4, and every signal opens to its full analysis, its citations and a recommended next step. Behind them sits a library of 17 monitored sources graded in four tiers by evidentiary weight, 13 of them primary legal instruments — EUR-Lex, the European Commission, the UK ICO, legislation.gov.uk, APHA — each with its own monitoring cadence. The headline signal tracks the EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, which the European Commission records as having entered into force on 1 August 2024 and become applicable on 2 August 2026; checked against the Commission's own application timeline, the citation and both dates are correct. That is what the prototype demonstrates: not that a company adopted it, but that cross-border regulatory exposure can be scored, sourced and triaged in one place, with the escalation decision recorded rather than left to whoever reads it. It was built independently from public information, was never commissioned or reviewed by Burgermeister, and reflects no access to the company's internal plans, counsel or compliance program — so every date, duty and threshold in it needs primary-source confirmation and local counsel before anyone acts on it.
Verified build record
What is actually running, and what it is not.
LiveLive · working intelligence dashboard
The problem. A company expanding across several jurisdictions accumulates legal and regulatory exposure faster than anyone can brief it, and the items that need a lawyer get mixed in with the items that do not.
What it does. Tracks legal and regulatory signals relevant to an international expansion across the US, UK, Germany and Poland, scoring each by business impact and likelihood, and flagging on the record which items require outside counsel confirmation before anyone acts on them.
Built on. A Next.js application on Vercel over owned Supabase infrastructure.
What it does not establish. That any of it was commissioned, adopted, or checked by a lawyer — 18 of the 27 signals are flagged for attorney confirmation precisely because the system does not supply it.
