Rules-as-Code Engine for Regulatory Compliance Automation

C7/10April 29, 2026
WhatA commercial platform that encodes legislation and regulations as machine-executable YAML/logic, enabling governments and regulated businesses to auto-generate compliant decision workflows with full audit trails.
SignalCommenters are deeply intrigued by the Dutch RegelRecht project that turns legal texts into deterministic decision logic, asking for use cases and examples — signaling genuine demand for transparency and consistency in how laws are applied, especially in opaque bureaucratic systems.
Why NowAI is making legal text parsing feasible at scale, several governments are actively experimenting with rules-as-code (Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada), and post-COVID digital government acceleration means agencies are finally ready to automate case-by-case decision-making.
MarketGovernment agencies processing millions of citizen applications (benefits, permits, taxes), plus regulated industries needing compliance automation; TAM is large — govtech compliance software is a multi-billion dollar market. Competitors like Decisions/Appian handle workflow but don't encode actual legislation.
MoatProprietary library of encoded regulations becomes a defensible asset — each jurisdiction's rules are expensive to encode and validate, creating high switching costs and a cumulative data advantage.
