The company
We are not a report bureau.
The asset is a structured, machine-readable body of regulatory intelligence and the engine that reads it. The reports, the assessments and the workspace exist to prove that intelligence is real — they are not the company.
Why we exist
The people responsible for this know what they’re doing. They are outnumbered.
Every practitioner we spoke to could explain the law. Not one of them had the hours to apply it, tool by tool, use case by use case, jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
So we did not build a tool that explains the law to experts. We built the thing that does the volume: the determination, made the same way every time, cited so that the expert can check it in thirty seconds and move on to the judgement only they can make.
That is why accuracy beats completeness here. A field left empty costs a reader one lookup. A field filled with something plausible and wrong costs them their credibility in front of a regulator, and they will not find out which it was until it matters.
How it is built
Four layers. Do not invert them.
The order matters: everything above rests on the layer below, and a weakness at the bottom is invisible at the top until someone checks a citation.
Authoritative intelligence
Instruments, provisions, regulators and dates — verified to primary source. Everything else is a reader of this.
Determination engine
Intake facts in, applicability and duties out, deterministically. The patent-pending Meridian™ Engine.
Distribution
The same determination available through an API, so it can run inside products other than ours.
Execution
Reports, assessments and the workspace. The visible half — and the half most easily mistaken for the company.
What we hold ourselves to
Rules that cost us features.
Every one of these has, at some point, meant shipping less. That is what makes them worth writing down.
A language model never decides what the law says
Models help write readable prose from facts that are already determined. They do not choose which statutes apply, do not write findings, and do not mint citations.
An honest gap beats a plausible filling
Where the corpus cannot support a claim, the document says so. Empty is recoverable; confidently wrong is not.
Unknown never becomes no
An unanswered intake question stays unknown and stops the determination, rather than resolving to the value that would let the report finish.
We do not certify compliance
There is no version of our product that tells you that you are compliant. That is not modesty — it is the only defensible position for anyone who is not your counsel.
The name of a person is not intelligence
Individuals named in enforcement material are removed from our published corpus rather than republished because the source did.
Careers
We hire people who check.
The single most valuable habit here is opening the primary source when a plausible answer is already on the screen. If that is how you work — in law, in engineering, or in research — we would like to hear from you.
See the work, not the pitch
Judge us on a citation.
Run one determination and open two of the sources it cites. That is the whole evaluation, and it takes about fifteen minutes.
