AI agents harnessed for label compliance
A regulatory decision has to be defensible months after it was made, by someone who wasn’t there. That rules out anything that cannot show its reasoning. Our agents are constrained on purpose: deterministic where determinism matters, domain-grounded where judgment is needed, and logged everywhere.
What an agent has to satisfy before we let it touch a label
Zero black box, in a place you control
Three architectural choices do most of the work.
Deterministic orchestration
The sequence of checks is fixed and inspectable. Models are asked narrow questions inside a defined pipeline, never handed the whole decision.
Domain mind map
Regulations, claim types, ingredients, markets and precedent held as an explicit map of the domain — so context comes from structure, not from a prompt.
Small language models, on device
Small enough to run inside your environment. Unreleased labels and claims never have to leave a place you control.
Every verdict is a path you can walk back
A claim is not judged in one step. Each branch is recorded with the clause it turned on, so a reviewer can see exactly where the verdict was decided — and disagree with that step specifically.
Illustrative decision map. The same structure applies to a pharma promotional claim and a food front-of-pack claim.

Why a general model is the wrong tool for this
Eighteen months of regulatory research
The rule extraction methodology came first; the agents were built to run it.
The human keeps the decision
Agents prepare and evidence the assessment. Accepting or overruling it stays a person's job, and that choice is logged too.
