Why this is canonical

'Duty of care' is a foundational legal doctrine establishing the standard a party must meet to avoid negligence liability. In freight, broker duty of care is a live and contested legal standard, particularly post-MCS-90 and Carmack Amendment litigation. Naming this directly creates the authoritative position for compliance and risk tools addressing it.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Legal and compliance tooling
A platform codifying the documented steps brokers must take to meet their duty of care standard and defend against negligence claims.
Freight compliance attorneys, broker compliance SaaS, insurance underwriters
Shipper-side risk management

Enterprise shippers, freight risk managers, supply chain counsel
