Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, US Employment Law - Federal Baseline mostly lights up controls you already built forESG Essentials. You're not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That's the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
