Monitor the registers and get the diff every Monday
Twenty-three sources swept before six: nineteen unchanged, one new consultation with its deadline, one guidance page edited with the changed text quoted, and a citation link on every line.
Twenty-three sources mostly never change, and the one that does is the one you cannot afford to miss. Compliance officers, founders in regulated niches and the operations person who inherited "keep an eye on the rules" all run the same loop: bookmarks, a spreadsheet of last-checked dates, forty-five minutes a week.
A companion visits each source on schedule (agency newsrooms, rulemaking dockets, consultation pages, official gazettes, the trade body’s bulletin), compares against what it saw last run, and writes a change report: what moved, what is new, what closed, each line linking to the primary source.
What does a good sweep check?
Sources in tiers.
Tier one is the pages with legal force: the register, the gazette, the docket. Tier two is agency press rooms and guidance pages, where intent shows up before force. Tier three is trade bodies and law-firm bulletins, which interpret but lag. The companion sweeps all three, and the report keeps them separate, so a partner blog and a published final rule never read as the same kind of line.
Diffing is the core mechanic: page text compared to the previous run, so the report says "the FAQ on data retention gained a new section" instead of making you re-read the FAQ. Any source that fails to load is flagged loudly. The mechanism is website change monitoring run on a schedule.
A fintech’s weekly sweep
A payments startup tracks twenty-three sources across two jurisdictions: two regulators’ newsrooms and consultation pages, the relevant dockets, a sanctions list, three industry bulletins. The routine runs Monday at six and the compliance lead reads the report at nine.
A typical report: nineteen sources unchanged, one new consultation opened with a deadline eight weeks out, one guidance page edited with the diff attached and a threshold number changed, one enforcement action announced against a competitor, one source that failed to load. Each line carries its link, and her hour goes on the threshold change. Adjacent coverage is news monitoring, and the output rhythm matches weekly reporting.
What lands on counsel’s desk?
The fact of a change, the text that changed, and the citation, on the day it happens rather than the quarter after. The question of whether your product is now affected reaches your counsel with the source already attached.
That shape fits any company in regulated adjacency: a defined set of public sources, watched every week, feeding a human who owns the judgment. Banking, pharma and aviation layer analyst-written interpretation on top of the same weekly detection.
