They ask the agent to check the date, and it confirms the claim is expired, saving them from opening a new folder. ### Consumer claim verification A consumer wants to know if they can still file a claim for a product defect that happened last year. They ask their agent for the deadline, and it gives them a clear expiration date based on consumer law. ### Small business contract check A small business owner needs to see if they have enough time to pursue a breach of contract claim. They use the agent to find the duration for civil matters and see if they have a few months left to file. ### Bulk case triage A legal firm wants to bulk-verify a list of dates to see which ones have passed the statute of limitations. They feed a list of incident dates to the agent, which checks each one against the relevant legal rules. ## Benefits - Stop digging through law books and searching for specific state statutes because `search_statutory_period` pulls the correct duration for you instantly.
