The pipeline

From raw gazette
to desk-ready brief.

Five stages, running continuously. Every step preserves citations back to the primary source — so what lands on your desk is auditable, not opaque.

  1. Step 01

    Ingest

    Continuous crawl of 340+ official sources — gazettes, ministries, parliaments, central banks and regulators.

  2. Step 02

    Translate

    Native-language documents translated with domain-specific policy vocabulary preserved intact.

  3. Step 03

    Cross-reference

    Entity extraction, prior-policy linking and impact classification — every notice tied to what came before.

  4. Step 04

    Summarise

    AI analyst distils raw signal into desk-ready briefings with primary-source citations attached.

  5. Step 05

    Deliver

    Push to inbox, dashboard and API — with severity-ranked alerts routed to the right seats.

Primary sources only

Every insight cites the original gazette, notice or communiqué. No newsletter aggregation, no rumour trade.

Risk-ranked

Severity models trained on 12 months of continental policy history. See what actually moves markets.

Built for speed

Median 3.2h from publication to your inbox. Sub-second dashboard search across 1.2M indexed documents.

Full history

Every policy since day one is searchable, filterable and downloadable — trace the arc, not just the headline.
