# LEX — Findings & Research

## Legal Constraints & Structure
* The application must cover 29 specific jurisdictions (USA, Canada, +27 EU Member States).
* Substantive differences exist fundamentally (e.g., EU GDPR vs US CCPA, EU Statutory Notice vs US At-Will Employment).
* Source constraints: Only official government references (e.g., USA `*.gov`, EU `*.europa.eu`, CA `*.gc.ca`).

*Deep search findings for official links will be appended here.*
