Extract sponsor compliance requirements and generate tracking checklists

Features
Parses award documents, grants, and sponsor guidelines to identify all compliance obligations, reporting deadlines, and procedural requirements

Creates actionable, task-based checklists with ownership assignments, deadlines, and dependencies organized by compliance area
Prioritizes compliance items by regulatory risk level, financial impact, and likelihood of sponsor audit or enforcement action
Extracts and organizes all reporting, certification, and submission deadlines into a timeline with escalation milestones
Cross-references sponsor requirements against federal regulations (2 CFR, OMB circulars, NSF/NIH/DOE policies) to flag inconsistencies or interpretation issues
Compares compliance requirements across multiple awards to identify conflicts, redundancies, or differing sponsor expectations
