Catch Legal Risks Before They Publish
Pattern-based + AI detection for regulated content — not a generic spell-check.
If you publish content in medicine, supplements, cosmetics, food, or wellness, you're operating under strict advertising regulations. Symbion scans your content for healing claims, forbidden guarantees, missing disclaimers, and unsupported scientific statements — with industry-specific rules that know the difference between HWG and EU Cosmetics Regulation.
Symbion does not replace legal review.
This is an assistance system — not a legal authority. Symbion makes compliance risks visible, provides industry-specific context, and suggests alternatives. But the final decision remains with you and your legal advisors. No tool can guarantee legal compliance. We help you see the risks. Your team decides how to handle them.
One wrong claim can cost more than the campaign earned.
Regulated industries don't have a "fix it later" option. A healing claim in a supplement product page, an unsupported percentage in cosmetics copy, a missing disclaimer on a wellness article — these aren't style issues. They're legal risks. And most content workflows have no safety net.
Invisible Risk
'Clinically proven' sounds professional — but without evidence, it's a compliance violation. These phrases hide in plain sight, and content editors aren't legal experts.
Industry-Specific Rules
HWG rules differ from EU Cosmetics Regulation. Food health claims follow different rules than supplement claims. Generic spell-checks don't know the difference.
No Pre-Publish Safety Net
Most teams only discover compliance issues after publication — from a competitor's complaint, a regulatory warning, or worse. By then, the content has been live for weeks.
Patterns catch the obvious. AI catches the subtle.
Symbion runs two detection layers. First, pattern-based rules scan your content locally and instantly — catching forbidden phrases, superlatives, guaranteed outcomes, and known problematic structures. These run in real-time as you type.
Then, AI-powered analysis examines the full context — finding subtle implications, misleading combinations, and claims that only become problematic in their specific industry context. Results are merged, deduplicated, and scored.
Compliance Finding — Live Example
"cures cancer"
Healing claims are prohibited under HWG.
"may support treatment of" or "contributes to"
"clinically proven effective"
Requires verifiable evidence. Score impact: −8 points.
Every finding includes risk level, category, explanation, and alternative phrasing.
Visibility, not blocking. Symbion makes risks visible — it doesn't censor content.
Compliance findings are informational. Symbion does not automatically remove, rewrite, or suppress flagged content. There is no silent editing, no auto-rejection, no censorship mechanism. Your content stays exactly as you wrote it.
What Symbion does: surface risks, provide context, suggest alternatives, and calculate a score. What you do with that information is your decision. The human remains responsible for the final content.
Five industries. Five rulesets. One workflow.
Each industry has its own advertising regulations. Symbion applies the right rules for your content — including industry-specific patterns, risk categories, and disclaimer templates. Select your industry. The rules follow automatically.
Medicine & Pharmaceuticals
Healing claims, disease names, before/after comparisons, scientific claims without evidence
Dietary Supplements
Unapproved health claims, weight loss promises, mandatory disclaimers for supplements
Cosmetics
Medical claims for cosmetics, exaggerated wrinkle claims, unsubstantiated percentage claims
Food & Beverages
Unapproved health claims, disease prevention claims, misleading nutritional statements
Wellness & Lifestyle
Health-related claims in wellness context, diagnosis claims, treatment promises
Custom Rules
Add your own forbidden terms and whitelist exceptions. Custom rules integrate with pattern detection and apply across all industries.
Compliance Score — Risk Deductions
A compliance score that means something.
Every finding has a risk level. Every risk level has a fixed point deduction. Your compliance score starts at 100 and subtracts based on what's found — a single critical finding (like a healing claim) drops you 25 points. Two medium findings cost 16. The math is transparent, the score is actionable.
No hidden weights, no opaque algorithms. You know exactly why your score is what it is — and exactly what to fix to improve it.
Missing disclaimers? You'll know — and get the template.
When your content requires a disclaimer — because it mentions dietary supplements, wellness treatments, or individual results — Symbion flags it and provides the right industry-specific template. Not generic text. The actual required disclaimer for your industry and content type.
Templates cover general product disclaimers, testimonial qualifications, dosage warnings, allergy notices, and no-diagnosis statements — each mapped to the industry that requires them.
Disclaimer Templates by Industry
"Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle."
"Individual experiences may vary and are not scientifically verified."
"No diagnoses are made and no diseases are treated."
Automatically suggested when content requires a disclaimer.
Compliance checks run when content changes — not on a schedule.
Compliance scanning is triggered by meaningful content changes — not continuously. If your content hasn't changed, your compliance score hasn't changed. No re-scanning unchanged pages, no fluctuating scores from identical content.
Compliance findings respect existing decisions and are only updated when underlying content changes. Assessments are versioned and reproducible — the same content with the same rules produces the same result, ensuring consistent compliance evaluation over time.
This is the same Decision Stability principle that runs through every Symbion feature — from Keyword Reality Check to SEO Analysis to SEO Optimization. Your compliance state is stable until your content changes.
Clear scope. No overreach.
Professional means knowing what you cover — and what you don't. Symbion scans advertising content for regulated-industry risks. It does not cover all legal domains. Here's exactly what falls inside and outside the scope.

Outside the scope
These require professional legal counsel. Symbion is an assistance system for advertising-content risks — not a replacement for a legal department.

This service serves as an assistance tool and does not replace professional legal advice. Pattern detection and AI analysis cannot identify all legal issues. Symbion assumes no liability for legal consequences arising from the use or non-use of this service.
Why this matters: In regulated industries, compliance isn't optional — it's the baseline. Symbion gives you a pre-publish safety net: pattern detection for the obvious, AI analysis for the subtle, risk scoring for prioritization, and disclaimer templates for what's required. That's not another checklist. That's compliance as a workflow step.
