Regulatory Intelligence for U.S. Water Utilities
Go beyond "who regulates whom." AquaIntel translates water regulations into exposure, timing, enforcement risk, and commercial impact—utility by utility.
Regulatory Data Is Fragmented
and Non-Actionable
Regulatory complexity is growing. Regulatory clarity is not.
Fragmented
Rules live across EPA, state agencies, permits, decrees, and local orders.
Static
Most platforms explain structure but don't quantify impact.
Disconnected
No link between regulation, compliance timing, projects, or funding.
Static regulatory explainers are table stakes. Decision-grade regulatory intelligence is missing.

Regulatory Exposure Heatmap
Answer one question instantly: "Which utilities are under the most regulatory pressure — and why?"
Not compliance status. Not intent. Regulatory burden density, grounded in documents.
Exposure Intensity
Exposure = Federal + State + Local regulatory drivers
Stacked Exposure Model
Every layer—Federal, State, Local—is clickable and explainable. No black-box scores.
Document-Linked Evidence
Every mandate links to the source regulation, permit, or order. Full audit trail.
