Illustrative workflow

How the work moves

Starting point

A regulator issues a technical correction and delayed compliance date

  1. 01

    Bind prior and current source families

  2. 02

    Re-extract affected obligations

  3. 03

    Classify semantic deltas

  4. 04

    Notify impacted mappings and plans

Result

Obligation delta set with severity, dependencies and downstream impact graph

Checks and boundaries

What must be tested or reviewed

  1. 01Detects seeded threshold, exception, definition and date changes
  2. 02Does not label formatting-only edits as substantive obligation changes
  3. 03Every delta resolves to old and new pinpoint source

Human authority

  • Obligation owner confirms material semantic changes before implementation scope is reduced
