The specialist team
Five compliance officers, on call
The general advisor answers across the whole corpus. When a matter sits squarely inside one regime, hand it to the specialist who does that job for a living.
Who you can hand a matter to
Each specialist carries the whole Rules Mate corpus and every compliance tool. What changes is the remit, the vocabulary and the work products they produce.

How it works
- Step 1
Pick the specialist
Choose the officer whose remit matches the question. The chip sits above the composer in the advisor.
- Step 2
Ask in plain English
Describe the situation as you would to a colleague. They ask for the facts that change the answer, and assume sensible defaults for the rest.
- Step 3
Get the artefact
Registers, procedures, notification drafts and evidence packs — each with the parts only your business can complete marked, and the accountable person named.
What a specialist will not do
A specialist produces a starting framework, never a finished compliance program presented as ready to adopt. Everything it drafts carries the blocks only your business can complete, names the person who holds the statutory duty, and is meant to be reviewed independently before it is relied on. Figures, thresholds and statutory deadlines come from the compliance tools and the corpus rather than from memory. This is general information, not legal advice.
