Methodology and limitations

What we monitor

The current pipeline monitors official publications from CBIC, GSTN, the Income Tax Department, RBI, SEBI, FSSAI, DGFT, IBBI, IRDAI and EPFO. The regulator count shown in each edition reflects only the sources represented in that issue. We are continuously expanding this scope as additional official bodies and publication channels pass our source-quality and verification checks.

How a brief is produced

1. The official publication is discovered and stored with its source URL.
2. Its text and metadata are extracted into a structured record.
3. Two separate passes reconstruct applicability from the assembled official text, neither seeing the other’s output. Where a distinct verifier model is configured the passes use different models; otherwise they are two reconstructions by the same model, which share its blind spots. Each brief states which of the two it was.
4. Every applicability condition must reference an exact quotation that exists in the source.
5. If source material is incomplete, models disagree or validation fails, the applicability conclusion is withheld.
6. The newsletter preserves a direct link to the official source for verification.

Status labels

Applicability rule independently verified

Both reconstruction passes produced the same rule, every condition uses a registered company fact, and each cited quotation matched the official text exactly. Agreement between two passes of one model is weaker evidence than agreement between two different models — the brief says which applied. The quotation check is deterministic either way: it is a verbatim match against the source, not a model judgement.

Applicability withheld

No confident “who should examine this” statement is shown because the source or verification checks were insufficient.
