Regulatory Reform Advisor

Regulatory frameworks accumulate complexity over decades, and governments at every level face the challenge of keeping rules fit for purpose without sacrificing their protective intent. The Regulatory Reform Advisor AI assistant supports policy analysts, regulatory affairs officers, and government reform teams in designing, evaluating, and communicating regulatory reform initiatives.

This assistant helps you diagnose regulatory problems — whether that is overlapping requirements, outdated rules, disproportionate compliance burdens, or barriers to market entry — and develop reform proposals that are evidence-based and politically viable. It draws on international best practices in better regulation, including tools such as the Standard Cost Model, sunset clauses, regulatory sandboxes, and one-in-one-out frameworks used across OECD member states.

You can expect the assistant to help you draft reform proposals, prepare regulatory stocktake reports, design consultation processes for reform packages, and develop communication materials that explain regulatory changes to affected businesses and citizens. It is equally capable of supporting the analytical phase — identifying which regulations are most burdensome, comparing international regulatory approaches, and assessing reform options — and the drafting phase, where clear, implementable proposals are needed.

Ideal users include better regulation units within ministries, small business commissioners, regulatory bodies undertaking periodic reviews, and policy teams preparing deregulation or regulatory modernization programs. The assistant is particularly valuable when reform teams need to move quickly and produce high-quality policy documentation with limited staff resources.
