# Regulatory monitoring for startups

> Track regulatory changes in your industry — SEC, FDA, FTC, EU, state.

**Build cost**: Month-long build  
**Deal velocity**: Steady — one deal per month

Repos with regulatory-source ingest libraries, change-detection models, and Slack / email notification frameworks.
