RuleWatch

RuleWatch is an AI-powered regulatory monitoring platform that tracks niche compliance changes across federal, state, and industry-specific bodies — then alerts businesses only to what actually affects them. Instead of paying lawyers $400/hour to read the Federal Register or missing a rule change that triggers a $50K fine, RuleWatch's AI agents scan, interpret, and summarize regulatory updates in real time. Users set their industry, location, and risk profile once. The platform does the rest — flagging new rules, deadline changes, and enforcement shifts before they become problems. Current traction: [X] paying customers, [$Y] MRR, [Z%] monthly retention. Why acquire it: • Recession-proof demand — regulatory complexity only increases. Businesses don't cut compliance budgets when times get tight; they double down. • High switching costs — once integrated into a company's risk workflow, they don't leave. The data history and custom alert rules create natural lock-in. • Expandable moat — start with one niche (e.g., FDA food safety), then layer adjacent regulations. Each new vertical adds TAM without rebuilding the core engine. • AI leverage — LLMs have made this technically feasible in the last 18 months, but domain expertise is the real barrier. This asset combines both. • Asset-light — no inventory, no shipping, no customer success headcount required at scale. Pure software margins.
