EcoMate – Regulatory & Compliance Data Integration

This document defines how EcoMate integrates regulatory and compliance data to ensure all proposals and systems remain legally robust and up to date.

1. Governmental & Standards Body APIs

Purpose: Connect directly to official rulesets.

Implementation: Extend services/compliance/engine.py to poll APIs from SANS, ISO, EPA, etc.
Storage: Auto-commit updates into compliance/rules/ with version control.
Validation: CI pipeline tests new rules for validity.

Value: Compliance Agent always aligned with the latest standards.

2. Legal & Environmental Feeds

Purpose: Anticipate upcoming regulations.

Implementation: New activity activity_regulatory_monitor to ingest RSS/Atom feeds.
Processing: Use LLM summarization to highlight changes and impacts.
Outputs: Draft pending rule files created in PRs.

Value: Early warnings and future-proofing of proposals.

3. Public Record Databases

Purpose: Add due diligence to proposals.

Implementation: Create services/compliance/public_records.py with per-region adapters.
Use Case: Proposal Agent checks permits, zoning, and water rights eligibility during intake.
Cache: Store queries keyed by site identifier.

Value: Reduced risk of cancellations or legal disputes.

4. Integration Pattern

File Layout:

services/compliance/
  engine.py
  sources/
    sans.py
    iso.py
    epa.py
  feeds/monitor.py
  public_records.py

Workflow Hooks:

Proposal workflow → public records check.
Compliance workflow → validate spec against latest standards.
Regulatory monitor → summarize feeds, create draft rules.

Automation:

GitHub Action cron pulls & commits new rules weekly.
Compliance gate in CI blocks merges on non-compliance.

5. Next Steps

Build first connector (e.g., SANS water rules).
Implement regulatory monitor for 1–2 legal feeds.
Wire eligibility check into Proposal Agent for a pilot region.

By integrating these data sources, EcoMate’s Compliance Agent evolves into a living regulatory intelligence system that continuously adapts and safeguards client projects.
