Disclaimer

This framework is a speculative demonstration piece and open-source educational resource. It is built using Sable AI Ltd — a fictional UK HR/recruitment AI startup — as its demonstration vehicle.

Nothing in this framework constitutes legal advice. No document in this repository should be treated as a compliance certification, legal opinion, or guarantee of regulatory compliance.

Assumed company characteristics

All documents are built on unverified assumptions about Sable AI Ltd's systems, operations, and regulatory position. Every assumption is flagged inline with [ASSUMPTION] and logged in ASSUMPTIONS-LOG.md.

If you are adapting this framework for a real organisation: work through every [ASSUMPTION] flag and validate it against your actual company data before treating any document as complete. Assumptions that are wrong for your organisation will produce documents that are wrong for your organisation.

Documents flagged [LEGAL REVIEW REQUIRED] contain legal conclusions or regulatory interpretations that require review by a qualified UK lawyer before operational use. These flags mark genuine legal questions — including:

  • Whether Scout's outputs constitute "solely automated decisions" under UK GDPR Arts. 22A–22D
  • Whether agency customer relationships constitute joint controller arrangements under UK GDPR Art. 26
  • The lawful basis and Art. 9(2) condition for demographic monitoring data
  • The applicable UK international transfer mechanism for Anthropic as a sub-processor
  • Retention period adequacy

Do not remove these flags without obtaining the relevant legal advice.

Regulatory currency

UK data protection and AI regulation is evolving. This framework reflects the regulatory position as of March 2026. Subsequent ICO guidance, case law, or legislative changes may affect the conclusions in individual documents.

No warranty

This framework is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The author accepts no liability for any loss, damage, or regulatory penalty arising from use of this framework.
