Rules change quietly
Rate changes, new permit requirements, revised volume limits — regulatory updates arrive through bulletins, websites and letters. Keeping a rules database current has traditionally meant a team of people reading everything.
AI watches, people approve
Slingstone runs an agent that monitors regulatory sources and proposes updates to the rules database, with the source and the specific change attached. A compliance specialist reviews and approves each change before it affects a single order.
Every rule has a source
Because every rule carries its source and effective date, you can see why an order was blocked or why a rate applied — and what the rule was on the date of the order.
