01Regulatory Impact Assessment

The impact of every news item, assessed for you.

As soon as a text changes, Obsidian identifies the entities affected, the impact level and the next step. Your experts confirm, or dismiss with a reason. Nothing is decided for them.

  • What this entity has to do. The next step and its deadline, not an excerpt of the law.
  • An inbox of findings, not a news feed. Critical, action or info, entity by entity.
Examples for:

02Regulatory Applicability by Entity

Your whole group, subsidiary by subsidiary. The rules that apply, and why.

One questionnaire per entity, pre-filled from public sources. For every text, a verdict and its legal basis, article by article.

  • Every verdict justified. It points to the article of law and to the entity's answers.
  • Every assessment dated. Comparable version by version, exportable for your auditor.

03Regulatory Change Analysis

Official, or only announced? You always know.

For every text that moves: the wording before, the wording after, the effective date and the official source. A proposal stays labelled as a proposal, never shown as a rule in force.

  • Before and after, side by side. In one minute you know what changed, and from when.
  • The day it becomes binding. Every change carries its effective date and its label: official source, or announced.
BeforeObligations applicable on 2 August 2026
AfterApplicable on 2 December 2027

04AI Regulatory Assistant

Ask the regulation. Get the official source.

Every answer cites the official text with a link, its status (in force, proposed, repealed) and its jurisdiction. You never act on a draft mistaken for a law.

  • Every claim sourced. The official reference and a clickable link, never a guess.
  • In the AI you already use. The same sourced answers, through MCP.

05Audit Trail and E-signatures

  • Every decision logged, every review signed. Verify the whole chain in one click.
  • Ready for your auditor. The log and the signed versions export as they are.

  • The noise filtered out. Only the real changes that matter to you get through.

Compliance Actions and Oversight

From finding to action in one click. And nothing gets lost.

Every action has an owner, a deadline and its evidence. Managers see every person and every entity at a glance: done, in progress, overdue.

  • Evidence attached. Each action keeps the proof that it was done.
  • Reminders before the deadline. In the app, by email, in your calendar.
