# Regulatory Impact Analysis Skill

Before a rule is made, good practice (and often law) requires showing it's justified: what problem it solves,
what it costs, what it delivers, and whether a lighter option would do better. This skill produces a structured
**RIA** — honest about uncertainty, comparing real alternatives against the do-nothing baseline.

> Educational analytical aid. A formal RIA must follow the jurisdiction's guidance (e.g. US OMB Circular A-4,
> UK Better Regulation Framework) and use validated data — treat this as a rigorous first draft, not an official filing.

## Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

- **The proposed rule & problem** — what's proposed and the market failure / risk / harm it addresses.
