Internal education and regulatory awareness

Enhances◐ 1–3 years

What You Do Today

Educate company leadership and operating teams on regulatory implications of business decisions. Ensure executives understand what can and can't be recovered in rates, and how operational decisions affect regulatory outcomes.

AI That Applies

AI summarizes recent commission decisions and trends in formats accessible to non-regulatory audiences, tracking how commission sentiment is shifting on key issues.

Technologies

How It Works

The system monitors regulatory data sources — rule changes, enforcement actions, and compliance records. The analytics engine aggregates data across sources, applies statistical analysis to identify significant patterns and outliers, and presents the results through visualizations that highlight what needs attention. The results integrate into the practitioner's existing workflow — presenting recommendations, flags, or automated outputs alongside their normal working context.

What Changes

Regulatory intelligence summaries become more timely and targeted to specific audiences within the company.

What Stays

Translating regulatory complexity into business language, advising executives on risk, and the judgment to know when a business decision will create a regulatory problem.

What To Do Next

This section won't tell you what your numbers should be. It will show you how to find them yourself. Every instruction below produces a real, verifiable result in your organization. No benchmarks, no projections — just the steps to build your own evidence.

1

Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for internal education and regulatory awareness, understand your current state.

Map your current process: Document how internal education and regulatory awareness works today — who does what, how long it takes, where the bottlenecks are. You need this baseline to measure improvement.
Identify the judgment points: Translating regulatory complexity into business language, advising executives on risk, and the judgment to know when a business decision will create a regulatory problem. These are the boundaries AI won't cross.
Assess your data readiness: AI tools for this area need data to work. Check whether your organization has the historical data, integrations, and data quality to support Power BI tools.

Without a baseline, you can't measure whether AI actually improved anything. You'll adopt tools without knowing if they're working.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long internal education and regulatory awareness takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.

Start These Conversations

Who to talk to and what to ask

your board chair or lead independent director

What's the biggest bottleneck in internal education and regulatory awareness today — and would AI address the bottleneck or just speed up something that's already fast enough?

They shape expectations for how AI appears in governance

your CTO or CIO

What would have to be true about our data quality for AI to work reliably in internal education and regulatory awareness?

They own the technology infrastructure that enables AI adoption
