Regulatory Discovery & Extraction Engine
Purpose
Regulatory Discovery & Extraction Engine supports multi-source permit requirement discovery and metadata extraction for project-specific regulatory needs. It helps identify applicable permits, requirements, dependencies, and gaps using the project profile, jurisdiction list, internal regulations, government portals, and historical permit information provided as inputs.
Primary users
The primary users are external, client-facing users who need to understand permit requirements across jurisdictions and regulatory sources. The agent is designed for use in client delivery contexts where permit discovery, documentation, and requirements analysis are needed.
Where it fits (process/stage/trigger)
The agent fits into the permit discovery and regulatory assessment stage of a project, typically triggered when a project profile, jurisdiction list, timeline, budget, and relevant regulatory sources are available. It supports early-stage analysis before permit planning, checklist preparation, and gap remediation activities.
Key capabilities / workflow
The workflow analyzes the project profile, searches internal regulation databases through RAG and relevant government portals, checks whether source coverage is complete, extracts permit requirements and metadata, identifies gaps, and generates a permit catalog with related dependency mapping. When gaps or incomplete sources are identified, the workflow loops back to additional source discovery and validation.
Inputs
Typical inputs include the project profile, jurisdiction list, timeline and budget information, internal regulations accessed through RAG, government portals, permit history, internal regulation databases, bylaws, environmental frameworks, and permit templates.
Outputs / Deliverables
Outputs include a permit catalog, extracted requirements and metadata, a dependency map, permit templates, checklists, and a gap analysis. These deliverables support structured review of applicable permit obligations and missing information.
Value
The agent creates value by consolidating permit discovery across internal and external regulatory sources, structuring requirements and metadata, and highlighting gaps that may affect project planning. It helps client-facing teams accelerate regulatory discovery and produce reusable permit-related deliverables.
