Introducing Forseti: EU regulatory intelligence anchored to verified official sources
Forseti monitors EU financial regulation continuously and delivers personalised horizon-scanning intelligence anchored to verified official EU sources. Here is what it does, who it is for, and why we built it.
The problem we kept seeing
Every article in this series describes a version of the same problem. EU financial regulation moves fast, produces an enormous volume of output across multiple supervisory authorities, and carries material consequences for firms that miss something. The firms most exposed to that risk are not the large banks with dedicated regulatory intelligence teams. They are the fintech founders, boutique fund managers, and compliance professionals at mid-sized firms who are responsible for tracking the regulatory landscape without the resources to do it systematically.
The tools available to those firms fall into two categories. Enterprise compliance platforms are expensive, complex to implement, and designed for large compliance departments. Generic AI tools are fast and fluent but cannot be trusted for compliance use: they hallucinate legal facts, do not know when their information is current, and cannot tell you which version of a regulation they are drawing on. For a detailed treatment of why that matters, see why generic AI tools are unreliable for regulatory compliance research.
Forseti is our answer to that gap.
What Forseti does
Forseti monitors EU financial regulation continuously. It covers adopted and in-force instruments: regulations, directives, and the implementing and delegated acts that define actual compliance obligations. Every document in the system is retrieved from verified official EU sources and indexed with its CELEX identifier and publication metadata.
When a relevant development occurs, Forseti surfaces it with personalised impact analysis: what the development means for a firm with your specific authorisation type and business model. The analysis cites the specific source documents it draws on. You can verify every claim against the original.
This is the architecture described in what is regulatory horizon scanning and why compliance teams need it: source coverage anchored to verified official documents, relevance filtering calibrated to your regulatory perimeter, and lead time that creates space for considered decisions rather than reactive compliance.
Who it is for
Forseti is built for the professionals who cannot afford a regulatory surprise.
Compliance professionals at fintech firms and mid-sized financial entities who are responsible for tracking multiple regulations simultaneously, without a large team behind them. Boutique fund managers navigating AIFMD II, EMIR reporting, and SFDR disclosure obligations. Fintech founders building products in scope for MiCA, PSD3, or the AI Act who need to track the technical standards as they are finalised. Non-EU firms entering European financial markets who need to understand their regulatory perimeter before they make an investment.
The common thread is that these are professionals whose work depends on regulatory accuracy, who do not have the budget for enterprise platforms, and who cannot safely rely on generic AI tools for compliance research.
Why source anchoring is not optional
Every Forseti alert traces back to a specific document with a retrievable CELEX identifier. This is not a design preference. It is the baseline requirement for any system whose output will be used to inform compliance decisions.
EU financial regulation is precise in ways that matter. Whether a requirement is mandatory or subject to NCA discretion, whether an exemption applies to a specific firm type, whether a deadline has passed or is approaching: these questions turn on specific provisions in specific documents. A system that cannot tell you exactly which document a claim came from is not fit for compliance use, regardless of how plausible the output sounds.
Forseti ingests directly from official EU sources. Ingestion is deterministic. The AI layer operates on retrieved, source-linked documents, not on training weights from a static snapshot of the internet. For the engineering logic behind this architecture, see why deterministic RAG beats generative AI for research.
What is live now
Forseti launches with coverage of the core EU financial regulatory framework: MiCA, DORA, PSD3, EMIR, AIFMD II, SFDR, and the AI Act as it applies to financial services. The full list of regulations in scope is available on the platform.
Coverage expands as the regulatory perimeter expands. The AI Act’s financial services implications are an immediate adjacent priority given the August 2026 deadline for high-risk AI system requirements.

Pipeline and workflow are used interchangeably in research operations. They describe different things, and conflating them produces systems that are fragile in predictable ways. Here is what the distinction means in practice and why it matters for research reliability.
