Legislative Version Watch Agent

Both versions sit side by side. Nobody notices the old one was cited until afterwards.

Detects when a new version of a law takes effect and keeps the versions clearly separate.

A cut-off date in the middle of the year turns one set of rules into two.

The new version takes effect on the cut-off date; the old one continues to apply to everything before it. In the filing system, both documents sit side by side with almost identical wording, often with no date in the file name. So every response about a live contract has to start by establishing which version applies to the case.

2versionsThe old version still applies to legacy cases, the new one to everything from the cut-off date.
9differing paragraphsOnly nine paragraphs differ; the rest of the wording is identical word for word.
41responses per quarterThat is how often contract management and property services ask which version applies.
6retractionsSix responses had to be corrected because they cited the superseded paragraph.

Six responses had to be withdrawn in the quarter, all because a citation lacked a version date; avoiding three of them is the 50% fewer incorrect responses.

The 50% reduction in incorrect responses is this agent's headline figure. The 41 responses per quarter and the nine differing paragraphs reflect a typical pattern after a change of version and are not actual counts.

Three steps through the process.

The agent states which version applies to a case, with cut-off date and reference; contract management interprets the paragraph.

Match the case to the cut-off date

The agent reads the decisive date of the case, such as the contract start or billing year, and compares it with the date the new version took effect. That determines which version applies.

Contract HV-2019-0863, contract start before the cut-off date of 1 October, old version applies

Compare the versions

The agent lays both texts side by side and marks every difference in wording. Paragraphs that were merely renumbered are recorded as such.

9 differing paragraphs marked, 2 of them only renumbered

Compile the applicable version for the response

The agent summarises the applicable paragraph with version date and reference in a response note. Contract management signs off the response.

What the agent does not do.

It does not sign the response to the tenant.

It compiles version, cut-off date and reference. Contract management signs the response.

It does not interpret a paragraph for an individual case.

It shows the wording of both versions side by side and marks the difference. What that means for the contract in question is for contract management to decide.

A version that is not in the connected statute collection does not appear.

State-level transitional provisions held in a separate collection are left out. The agent records in the note that they have not been checked; the specialist must look them up before signing.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Legislative Version Watch Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “50% fewer incorrect responses” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
