Scenario
Trailhead Software, Inc. is a consumer mobile app company whose flagship product, "Trailhead," is a hiking and outdoor-navigation app with roughly 2 million monthly active users across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The product team, led by product manager Devon Park, is preparing to launch a new feature called "SmartRoute AI," an AI-powered route-planning feature that generates personalized hiking routes based on a user's fitness level, real-time location, past activity history, and weather conditions. SmartRoute AI relies on a third-party large language model provider ("NorthStar AI") to generate route narratives and on an open-source elevation-data library to compute terrain difficulty. The feature is slated to launch on August 14, 2026, and the marketing team has drafted landing-page copy describing it as "the safest way to plan any hike" and "trusted by expert guides." SmartRoute AI also introduces an optional premium subscription tier and collects continuous background location data to power real-time rerouting. Legal has not yet reviewed the new functionality, and the launch date is approximately twelve weeks away.

2. Launch Issues Register
| Issue Description | Practice Area | Severity | Recommended Owner / Skill | Blocking? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous background location data is a new sensitive data category not clearly covered by the current privacy notice; legal basis, consent flow, and retention period need confirmation. | Privacy / Data Protection | High | Privacy counsel / privacy-policy-gap-review | Yes | Open |
| Marketing claim "the safest way to plan any hike" is an unqualified superlative safety claim that likely requires substantiation. | Marketing / Advertising | High | Advertising counsel / marketing-claims-review | Yes | Open |
| Marketing claim "trusted by expert guides" is a testimonial/endorsement-style claim; basis and any guide relationships need verification. | Marketing / Advertising | Medium | Advertising counsel / marketing-claims-review | TBD | Open |
| AI-generated route narratives via NorthStar AI raise output-ownership, accuracy/disclaimer, and training-data rights questions. | AI / Product | High | AI counsel / ai-feature-review | Yes | Open |
| AI route recommendations affecting user physical safety may be a higher-risk use case requiring disclosure and human-judgment caveats. | AI / Regulatory | High | AI counsel / ai-feature-review | TBD | Open |
| NorthStar AI vendor API terms not reviewed; may restrict use, allocate liability, or require user-facing disclosures. | Contracts / Vendor | Medium | Commercial counsel / contract-risk-review | TBD | Open |
| Open-source elevation-data library license type unknown; copyleft (e.g., GPL/AGPL) terms could create distribution or disclosure obligations. | IP / Licensing | Medium | IP counsel | TBD | Open |
| New premium subscription tier introduces auto-renewal and recurring billing; auto-renewal disclosure and cancellation requirements may apply. | Consumer Protection | High | Consumer-protection counsel / terms-of-service-review | Yes | Open |

| Product name "SmartRoute AI" has not been trademark-cleared for the launch markets. | IP / Trademark | Medium | IP / trademark counsel | TBD | Open |
| Cross-border processing across US, Canada, and UK; UK data transfers and any region-specific requirements need review. | Privacy / International | Medium | Privacy counsel ([verify jurisdiction]) | TBD | Open |
| Accessibility obligations for the new feature UI (e.g., WCAG-aligned standards) not yet assessed. | Accessibility | Low | Product / accessibility specialist | No | Open |
| Personalization based on a user "fitness level" profile — confirm whether any health-adjacent data triggers heightened obligations. | Privacy / Regulatory | Unknown | Privacy counsel | TBD | Open |
3. Routing Map

marketing-claims-reviewfor claim-by-claim substantiation. - AI output ownership and accuracy (High, blocking): Route to AI counsel and run
ai-feature-review; address output ownership, disclaimers, and training-data rights. - AI safety-affecting recommendations (High): Route to AI counsel via
ai-feature-reviewto assess higher-risk use-case treatment and required disclosures. - Auto-renewal subscription (High, blocking): Route to consumer-protection counsel and run
terms-of-service-reviewfor auto-renewal disclosure and cancellation flow. - NorthStar AI vendor terms (Medium): Route to commercial counsel and run
contract-risk-reviewonce vendor terms are provided. - Open-source library license (Medium): Route to IP counsel once the library and its license are identified.
- "SmartRoute AI" trademark (Medium): Route to trademark counsel for clearance in US, Canada, and UK.
4. Go / Hold / Conditions Recommendation *(draft for attorney sign-off)*
Draft recommendation: HOLD pending resolution of blocking issues — not a legal clearance.
Five issues are currently marked blocking: (1) background location data privacy treatment, (2) the unqualified safety superlative, (3) AI output ownership and accuracy, (4) AI safety-affecting recommendations pending risk classification, and (5) auto-renewal subscription disclosures. The launch should not proceed on the August 14, 2026 date until these are resolved.
If the blocking issues are resolved, this could convert to a CONDITIONS recommendation, with launch permitted subject to: (a) an updated, approved privacy notice and consent flow for background location; (b) substantiated or revised marketing claims approved by advertising counsel; (c) AI disclaimers and output-ownership terms reviewed via ai-feature-review; (d) compliant auto-renewal disclosures and cancellation flow; and (e) confirmation that the existing terms of service are amended to cover the new functionality. This recommendation is a draft and must be reviewed and approved by responsible counsel before it is communicated to the launch team.
