Structure discovery for regulatory changes by first understanding the legal requirement’s scope and user impact. Collaborate early with compliance and legal to map mandated changes, then assess how they affect user workflows. Treat the regulation as a constraint, not the problem—focus discovery on minimizing friction while ensuring adherence. Use process mapping, scenario modeling, and compliance gap analysis to identify necessary product changes. Validate designs with affected user segments to avoid usability pitfalls under new rules.
