- AI Verification Engineering: Architecture for Trustworthy Regulatory AI
RAG hallucinates at 17 to 33 percent in production legal tools. The architecture of trustworthy regulatory AI: source grounding, extraction validation, confidence scoring, and standards-aligned verification.
- Document Extraction Pipeline Architecture: Why the Document Is the Hard Part
Why regulatory document extraction fails at the document layer, not the model layer. How format variation across FCC, ITU, and UNOOSA filings shapes hybrid OCR plus LLM pipeline design.
- Vector Search and Embeddings for Regulatory Filings
Keyword search misses regulatory filings written in another agency's vocabulary. How vector embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and domain-specific benchmarks enable cross-agency semantic search over FCC, ITU, UNOOSA, and FAA data.
- Mission Log: Running 10,000 FCC and ITU Filings Through Rented Consumer GPUs
How we built a batch LLM extraction pipeline on rented consumer GPUs to process thousands of FCC and ITU regulatory filings. Architecture, throughput, costs, accuracy, and confidence scoring.
- What Is a Space Regulatory Intelligence Platform?
A space regulatory intelligence platform ingests filings across the FCC, FAA, NOAA, and ITU, extracts structured data, and surfaces cross-agency relationships. Here is what that means functionally and why no off-the-shelf RegTech tool covers it.
- Multi-Agency Coordination: FCC, FAA, NOAA, and ITU
A single satellite mission can require four federal agencies that don't talk to each other. Case studies and reform efforts in multi-agency coordination.
