— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Regulation scan produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Consistent classification of risks
Risks are sorted into your categories using the same rules each time, which is what makes a large volume of risk, control and policy documentation readable.
Grounded in your own context
Your strategy, standards and prior work are loaded first, so conclusions about the risk universe in scope are anchored to your situation.
Live research on the risk universe in scope
Current external sources on the risk universe in scope are researched during the run rather than recalled from training data, and every source travels with the output.
Why this is expensive by hand
In risk & compliance work, regulation scan is one of those tasks that looks straightforward until you are three documents deep and the details stop agreeing with each other. Horizon scanning is the typical trigger — track regulatory movement in your sector with implications attached, not just headlines. Done properly it is defensible; done at pace it becomes a judgement call nobody can retrace. And "properly" usually means 1 day of manual work.
How this Skill produces it
Here the same job runs as a Skill. Your material goes in; classified regulatory changes with sources comes out, alongside implications for your context. The judgement is built in — how items are broken up, what standard they are held to, and where the run stops for a human review. The practical effect: 1 day of manual work becomes a ~10 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.
Who it's for
- Internal audit and risk functions
- Compliance and controls teams
- Second-line functions reporting to committees
- Risk consultants running assessments
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Regulation scan exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
