Track regulatory change weekly — from the regulators themselves
Regulatory information is scattered, and the cost of missing it isn't symmetric
Relevant updates are spread across dozens of agency and regulator sites, each with its own publishing schedule and format. A missed filing or a rule change that slips past you can mean rework, exposure, or a compliance gap — while checking every source manually, every week, doesn't scale.
How OriginBrief handles it
You build a theme from a catalog of primary regulatory sources — agencies, standards bodies, and official registers — and OriginBrief checks each one on a fixed schedule. Example sources already in the catalog:
- FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration)
- FCC (Federal Communications Commission)
- FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission)
- European Commission / EU agencies
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

A theme already running in public
Our AI Regulation & Policy theme has been publicly tracked for months and has been cited externally by other sites — see the live reports.

Each point in a report links back to the specific source and date it came from, so you (or your reviewer) can verify it directly — useful when a report needs to hold up in a compliance or legal review.
Built around a weekly review habit
Compliance, legal, and policy teams tend to work in a weekly rhythm already. OriginBrief fits into that: one report, once a week, covering only what changed — not a daily firehose to triage.
Frequently asked questions
- What kinds of regulatory sources can I track?
- Agencies, regulators, standards bodies, and official registers across jurisdictions — the catalog includes examples like the FDA, FCC, FERC, EU institutions, and ISO, and you can add your own source URLs as well.
- Can I add any URL as a source?
- Almost any public page — with two limits. OriginBrief reads sources the way a public visitor does, so sites that require a login won't work. It also respects robots.txt, so sites that ask crawlers to stay out are skipped — this occasionally affects a regulator or corporate site that blocks crawlers outright. Public filings, notices, and registers are the normal case and work fine.
- How is this different from a compliance newsletter or alert service?
- A newsletter reflects an editor's selection and schedule. OriginBrief monitors the specific sources you choose directly, on your schedule, and cites the source for every point in the report.
- Can one theme cover multiple agencies or jurisdictions?
- Yes — a theme can combine sources across agencies and jurisdictions; the weekly report groups what changed across all of them.
- Is this a substitute for legal or compliance advice?
- No. OriginBrief surfaces and summarizes changes from primary sources with citations — it's a monitoring tool, not legal advice. Decisions based on a report should go through your normal review process.
