Architecture Principle
AI assists with research, monitoring, and extraction. Final compliance determinations and rate calculations use deterministic rule engines with explicit, auditable logic. No black-box compliance assertions — ever.

8 California MRL rules checked at issuance

Every rule maps to a specific statute. Not “our legal team reviewed it” — the exact rule, the exact check, and the exact result.

The Problem

Partnership teams can’t prove ecosystem as a growth channel

80%
Time wrangling data
Partnership teams spend most of their time in spreadsheets and only 20% on actual strategy

Purpose-built tools
No tool exists to unify ecosystem overlap, partner performance, and strategic priorities in one place
