Request a briefingWhat it does
Red tape reduction, specifically.
- Inventory restrictions across a title, a program, or an entire code.
- Find provisions with no live enabling authority behind them.
- Identify duplication and conflict between rules that never got reconciled.
- Model what a proposed repeal or amendment actually changes.
- Report progress against a reduction target with the underlying record attached.
In detail
Find obsolete, duplicative, unsupported, and over-burdensome rules before they become reform packages.
- Classify provisions as statutorily required, federally required, agency-discretionary, obsolete, duplicative, or conflicting.
- Trace rules to enabling authority, registers, amendments, guidance, and judicial construction.
- Draft repeal, simplification, and redline packages with a reviewable source trail.
- Count requirements, benchmark peer states, and support cost-benefit or burden analysis.
- Reads entire rule chapters and maps each requirement to the authority behind it.
- Builds batch inventories with status, last-amended date, authority, and cleanup recommendation.
- Separates policy preference from legal constraint so reform teams can move carefully.
- Generates redlines and memos that agencies can review and refine.
