The Problem
Regulation 18 and 19 consultations can attract thousands of comments across hundreds of sites and policies. Manual analysis is time-consuming and error-prone, and the pressure to meet reporting deadlines keeps growing.
Policy teams face:
-
Months of admin-heavy analysis
-
Risk of missed insights or inconsistency
-
Demanding deadlines for Cabinet and submission
-
High scrutiny from stakeholders and the public
Consult AI makes this process 60x quicker without any loss of accuracy!
