About
The translation layer between
regulation and engineering.
The problem
Regulations like the UK Age Appropriate Design Code or the EU Digital Services Act run to hundreds of pages. Engineering teams need to build products that comply with these rules — but there's no clean way to go from legal prose to engineering tickets. The result: spreadsheets, miscommunication, and audit trails held together with sticky notes.
What Landfall does
Landfall reads the regulation and structures it into machine-readable obligations. You describe your product context — who your users are, what data you collect, how your service works — and Landfall maps which obligations apply to you, with rationale for every decision. Those obligations become prioritised engineering work items with acceptance criteria and full traceability back to the source text.
The principle
Every interpretation is auditable. Every decision is traceable. Ambiguities are flagged for human review — never silently resolved. Landfall is the bridge between legal and product, not a replacement for either.
Where we're starting
Our pilot focuses on children's safety and online protection — regulations like the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, COPPA, and the EU Digital Services Act. It's a domain where the stakes are high, the rules are complex, and engineering teams need clarity fast. But the translation problem isn't unique to child safety. Financial regulation, healthcare, accessibility, AI governance — anywhere dense legal text needs to become engineering work, Landfall's approach applies. We're starting where the need is sharpest, and expanding from there.
Why “Landfall”?
In navigation, landfall is the moment a ship first sights land after a long voyage at sea. It's the point where uncertainty ends and solid ground begins. For teams building products in regulated markets, the regulatory landscape can feel like open water — vast, complex, and hard to navigate. Landfall is the tool that gets you to shore: from ambiguous legal text to concrete engineering work, with a clear path you can trace back to where you started.
