Product regulatory monitoring
The MARIA Action Plan: monitoring product regulations and acting on them across markets
The MARIA Action Plan is the standard method for product regulatory monitoring and cross-product compliance: it maps a product to every regulation that applies across its target markets, scores the risk with full source traceability, and turns the result into a concrete, dated action plan. Built by Cleo Labs on the MARIA multi-agent AI engine, it draws on 3,700+ official sources and 19,000+ authorities across 106 countries, structuring 25,000+ regulations — verified by legal experts, not generated by a chatbot.
The four steps
- 1
Scope the product
Define what the product is in regulatory terms — materials, components, claims, intended use, and the markets it will be sold in. The regulatory perimeter of a single product can span hundreds of rules.
- 2
Map across markets
Map the product to every applicable regulation in each target market. MARIA draws on 3,700+ official sources and 19,000+ authorities across 106 countries, structuring 25,000+ regulations into a per-market obligation map.
- 3
Score the risk
Assign a 0–100 risk score to each obligation, with every claim traced back to its official source. Human-in-the-loop validation by legal experts keeps the output defensible, not a chatbot guess.
- 4
Act on a dated plan
Turn the map into a concrete, dated action plan: what to do, for which market, by when — labeling, documentation, certifications — and keep it live with real-time monitoring as regulations change.
Per-market vs cross-product monitoring
| When to use | Approach |
|---|---|
| Launching one product in new markets | Per-market mapping — steps 1–4 on a single product |
| Managing a full catalogue against changing rules | Cross-product monitoring — one rule change assessed across every affected product |
Frequently asked questions
What is the MARIA Action Plan?
The MARIA Action Plan is Cleo Labs’ methodology for monitoring product regulations and turning them into a concrete, cross-product compliance plan. It runs in four steps — scope the product, map across markets, score the risk, act on a dated plan — powered by the MARIA multi-agent AI engine.
How is product regulatory monitoring different from GRC monitoring?
GRC and security-compliance tools monitor an organisation’s internal controls. Product regulatory monitoring tracks the external rules that apply to a physical product — materials, labeling, certifications, customs — which change per market and per product category. The MARIA Action Plan is built for the latter.
Which regulations does it cover?
Cross-product frameworks such as ESPR, the Digital Product Passport, GPSR, REACH/PFAS, the EU Battery Regulation, CSRD and France’s AGEC, plus sector-specific rules — structured from 25,000+ regulations across 106 countries.
Why "cross-product"?
Brands rarely sell one product. A cross-product action plan applies the same monitoring and risk logic across an entire catalogue, so a regulatory change is assessed against every affected product at once — not re-checked product by product.
