A Multi-Agent Pipeline Approach to Regulatory Intelligence
Cleo Labs, Neuilly-sur-Seine · Forthcoming, 2026
We formalize regulatory intelligence as a distinct computational problem and present a production system that, given a company domain, identifies applicable regulations across 19 regions and 16 sectors, discovers developments in 8 languages, scores findings on a risk matrix, and generates impact assessments, orchestrating 30+ specialized LLM calls and hundreds of web searches per run.

The five-stage pipeline
Regulatory intelligence decomposed into five sequential tasks, each addressing a distinct capability gap. Click any stage to inspect its inputs, outputs, and prompt template.

Beyond keyword search
Regulatory intelligence requires four capabilities that keyword search cannot provide.

Search infrastructure
A single pipeline run decomposes into hundreds of targeted searches across jurisdictions and languages.
S_total = (20 + ε) + (37 × 4) + 5 · N_reg
where N_reg is the number of regulations passing the relevance filter, ε ∈ [0, 28] captures agentic follow-up searches
