How RegWatch checks regulatory changes.

How relevance is determined

1. Step 1

   Monitor official sources

   RegWatch checks the agency, legislative, and local-government sources listed in its public source inventory.

2. Step 2

   Separate meaningful changes from page noise

   Change detection and classification distinguish possible compliance developments from navigation, formatting, and routine publishing changes.

3. Step 3

   Check claims against the source

   A separate AI verification pass checks material claims against captured official-source text, alongside automated numeric checks. Alerts with unresolved verification issues are held from email delivery.

4. Step 4

   Explain the regulatory signal

   Each published item identifies what changed, who may be affected, important dates, possible next steps, and the official evidence available for review.

5. Step 5

   Apply the business profile

   Professional and Consultant compare the change with profile attributes such as location, industry, workforce, and operations. Missing facts remain visible as uncertainty instead of being guessed.

6. Step 6

   Keep the source attached

   Summaries, workflows, and forwarded items retain links to the official source so the user can verify the underlying record.

Applicability labels are decision support, not a legal conclusion. A result can be marked unclear when the source or company profile does not contain enough information.
