The businesses it reaches

This instrument concerns businesses in Portugal that must make a complaints book available to their customers, including shops, coffee shops and restaurants, service providers, online sellers and other establishments receiving the public. It sets the model, edition, prices, supply and distribution of the complaints book in physical and electronic formats, and the features of the digital platform. The working file walks through the administrative procedure that applies to these businesses, organised as open questions answered from the business's own records.

The file covers the administrative procedure under the annex to the instrument, including the steps a business follows when a complaint is recorded and the duties that attach to the electronic complaints book. Each section presents open questions beside the statutory text, so the business can answer from its own records and keep dated compliance reports in its own file. The toolkit is served through a connector inside Claude, with nothing downloaded and nothing installed.

The working file is a set of sections that organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions. The business answers each question from its own records, and the documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.
