Know which new rules apply to you, and why.
Regulatory horizon scanning that reads the sources you choose, in the language they publish in. Each finding is scored against your company profile, and every alert cites its source paragraph.
Most of what regulators publish is not about you.
Horizon scanning fails in two ways. The circular that binds one of your entities is missed, or analysts read every notice to find it. The real work is deciding what applies, and recording why.
- Official journals, regulator sites and consultation pages each publish in their own format.
- Local-language sources are skipped, or read in someone else’s summary.
- Relevance calls are made in inboxes and never written down.
- No one can show an examiner what was read and set aside.
Set the scope
A watchlist names the topics, jurisdictions and sources, the urgency rules and the schedule: daily, twice a week, weekly or monthly. Read only those sources, or add a broader web search around them.
Read, and set aside with a reason
The monitor agent checks each source on schedule and keeps every finding’s URL, dates and verbatim excerpt. Duplicates, exclusions and publications that don’t apply are set aside, each with its reason.
Explain what applies
The triage agent scores relevance from 0 to 100 against your profile, sets urgency by your rules, and writes why it matters, the business impact and the recommended actions, citing the source paragraph.
What you get
Suggested sources
The agent suggests authorities and official sources for your markets and topics, and your team confirms each one. Every source shows its health: healthy, warning or failing.
Original-language reading
Sources are read in the language they publish in. Excerpts stay verbatim, and the reasoning is written in English.
Relevance with a reason
Every alert carries a relevance score from 0 to 100 and a sentence on why it applies, naming the entity, license or product it touches.
Urgency rules
Each watchlist defines what makes an alert high, medium or low for you, such as a deadline inside a set window or a change to license conditions. The triage agent applies those rules.
Exclusions
Keyword, pattern, source, topic and jurisdiction rules set aside what is out of scope, and each rule records why it exists.
Lifecycle and dates
Alerts are staged from Horizon to Repealed and carry their effective date, deadline or consultation close as a dated badge.
The Inbox
Saved views, configurable columns, owners and internal due dates, and a workload summary. Bulk actions handle many alerts at once, and a dismissal takes a written reason.
Digests and exports
Email digests per watchlist, filtered by minimum urgency, as an email body or a PDF attachment. The Inbox exports to Excel, and each alert to PDF.
Questions
How is this different from ChatGPT or a news feed?
ChatGPT answers a question when you ask one, and a news feed lists what was published. RegWatch is a system of record for regulatory change. It reads the sources you choose on a schedule and keeps every finding with its source, its dates and the original text. It explains which changes apply to your business and why, and records what your team did about each: the owner, the obligation, the evidence and every decision. When an auditor asks what you knew and when, the answer is already on file.
Which regulators can we monitor?
The ones you choose. RegWatch monitors any jurisdiction that publishes its rules online, configured to your scope. Across customer watchlists, it monitors 95+ jurisdictions and 688 regulatory sources.
Which languages can RegWatch read?
Sources are read in the language they publish in: the Banco Central do Brasil in Portuguese, Banxico in Spanish, China’s MIIT in Chinese. Excerpts stay verbatim, and the reasoning is written in English.
How often are sources checked?
On the schedule you set for each watchlist: daily, twice a week, weekly or monthly, at a local time and time zone you choose. You can also run a watchlist on demand, or pause it.
