Automated regulatory gap analysis

Purpose

1.1. Automatically scan, compare, and identify regulatory compliance gaps in aircraft manufacturing corporate operations by aggregating regulations from global aviation authorities, cross-referencing them with internal safety documentation, flagging deviations, and triggering escalation/workflow for remediation actions.
1.2. Ensure continuous alignment with evolving airworthiness, safety, and operational mandates from EASA, FAA, ICAO, and others, and prevent non-compliance risks during audits or certification.
1.3. Automate retrieval of regulations, documentation parsing, change detection, and instant reporting to responsible compliance and safety teams.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Publication of new or updated regulations from authorities.
2.2. Update or creation of internal safety manuals or SOPs.
2.3. Scheduled periodic (e.g., weekly or monthly) compliance validation runs.
2.4. Manual initiation by compliance teams for ad hoc analysis.
