The way in for every other industry

Each industry page starts its programmes with its own first engagement: what it reviews, what you get and where to start.

Questions

What industry teams ask us first.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

Q.01Do you work in industries not listed here?

Probably. We have mapped the rules and programmes for forty-one industries, and a neighbouring industry usually shares most of its rules with one of them. The first conversation shows which; if the fit is poor, we say so.

Q.02What makes an industry a flagship?

They are the six industries we have mapped in most depth. Each has a full rulebook, a row in the industry × discipline matrix and a working deliverable on its page. Every other industry page has the same sections: what changes, the rules, what we build, programmes, AI use cases and questions.

Q.03Do you give legal or regulatory advice?

No. We design and build to the rules, which makes your legal and compliance review faster. Every rule on these pages is our reading of the issuer’s own text, dated when compiled; your counsel keeps sign-off.

Q.04How current are the rulebooks?

Each industry page shows when its rules were last compiled, and every rule cites its source. We aim to re-check a rulebook when an issuer publishes a change, and again with your compliance team before a programme starts.

Q.05Can one programme cover several industries?

Yes. A group with a lender and an insurer, or a retailer with a pharmacy arm, gets one brand and data foundation, with each industry’s rules applied to the parts they govern.

Q.06Do the rulebooks only cover India?

No. They start with Indian law and add the international rules your customers and partners bring: GDPR, the EU AI Act, the EU Accessibility Act, PCI DSS and WCAG. We map other markets when a programme starts.

Q.07What does AI do in these programmes?

AI drafts content, checks it against the rules, answers questions and routes requests. A named person approves what goes live, and a log records each step for supervisors to read. Each industry page lists its use cases and the risk each is tested for.

Q.08How does a first engagement start?

With the way in for your industry: a short, fixed-scope engagement that maps where you stand and sets the baseline the programme is judged on. The findings are yours whether or not you go further.
