Consultants charge £1,500–£5,000 per policy. We ship 74.
Anna drafts, reviews and operationalises every policy — extracting every commitment as a tracked task with a page reference back to the source.
£300/month · Draft. Operationalise. Approve.
Every firm the FCA authorises needs a library of policies — approved, governed, and evidenced. Most platforms give you templates and stop. Policy Studio takes a policy from blank page to board-signed, operationalised and FCA-registry-ready — without leaving the platform.
Setup · Import · Editor · Operationalise · Approval — one backbone, every policy, with page-referenced task extraction no other UK RegTech platform ships.
Every regulated firm owes the FCA a library of policies that live, get approved, get acted on and get evidenced. In practice: Word files on a shared drive with no approval record, commitments nobody tracks, and £1,500–£5,000 consultant invoices every time a regulation updates. That is an audit finding waiting to be written.
AML, Consumer Duty, SM&CR, Data Protection, Operational Resilience — dozens of Word files on a shared drive, nobody sure which is the live version. The approval record? An email thread from 2023. The FCA asks for the register; you open a spreadsheet.
Consultants charge £1,500–£5,000 per policy to draft, review and update — per policy, per year. A firm running AML, Consumer Duty, SM&CR, Data Protection and Op Res is spending £10k–£25k/year on work an AI can now draft in minutes.
A policy commits your firm to do things — train staff, review customers, report incidents. But nobody converts those commitments into tracked tasks. The policy is approved; the operational work never happens. That's the gap the FCA looks for.
Who approved the policy? When? What was the Board challenge? No approver name, no role, no date, no rationale captured against the document. When a skilled-person review asks "who signed this off and why", the answer is a missing email.
If your policies currently live in Word files, consultant invoices, and missing approval threads — Policy Studio is for you.
Most policy tools stop at "document approved." Policy Studio is built on three principles that carry a policy from blank page to live operation — page-referenced tasks, a 25-year FCA drafting prompt, and a proper SMF sign-off workflow.
One pipeline. Not three separate products. No other UK RegTech platform we’ve audited runs the full chain in one place — most stop at “document approved.”
The Operationalise stage reads the approved policy, identifies every actionable commitment, and suggests tasks with page references back to the source paragraph. Frequency (One-time / Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Annual) and category (Review / Training / Monitoring / Reporting / Governance) auto-tag each one. Accept, reject, or edit — accepted tasks flow into the Compliance Hub.
Page-referenced · Audit-defensibleAnna's policy-generation prompt is 900 words of hard-tuned expertise — 25-year FCA persona, 4,000-word minimum, 12–15 mandatory sections, British English, named roles, SYSC 6.3.1R / MLR reg 28 / PRIN 2.1 citation discipline, and dark-blue-headered tables. Outputs read like Big 4 work because the prompt is the moat — not the underlying LLM. On Rewrite, Anna proposes the chapter structure first — you review and edit the architecture before she writes a word of prose.
SYSC 6.3.1R · MLR 2017 · Architecture-firstApproval is a proper workflow, not a checkbox. Approver Name, Approver Role, Approval Date and Approval Rationale are all captured, with explicit Approve/Reject decisions and status chips (Draft / Pending / Live / Approved) flowing through. The output is a regulator-ready multi-page Policy Register PDF — cover page, stats tiles, schedule table, per-policy document-control summaries.
SM&CR-aligned · FCA-ready register PDFA five-stage wizard carries every policy from blank page to FCA-ready artefact. Anna drafts 4,000-word policies citing MLR, SYSC, COBS, ICOBS and PRIN; quality-scores every draft out of /10; and — the feature no competing policy tool ships — operationalises every commitment the policy makes into a tracked task with a page reference back to the source document. 74 FCA-grade templates across 10 regulatory categories. Google Docs round-trip. Named-SMF approval workflow with audit trail. Regulator-ready Policy Register PDF on the other side.
74 FCA-grade templates across 10 colour-coded categories — AML, Consumer Duty (10), Data Protection (15), SM&CR, CASS, Financial Crime (10), plus a second 21-code subject-matter taxonomy. Drive-backed and extensible: upload your own via "Upload Your Own" in Setup and it surfaces in the picker like any vendor template.
Three distinct Anna actions at the top of every document: Add Sections (with 2-step coverage check to avoid duplication), Review Content (numeric score /10 with 3 actionable improvement suggestions) and Rewrite Document (chapter-list first, body prose after). Publication-grade 4,000-word drafts, regulation-cited, British English.
The signature feature: Anna reads the approved policy, extracts every actionable commitment and suggests tasks with a page reference back to the source paragraph, a frequency (One-time / Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Annual) and a category (Review / Training / Monitoring / Reporting / Governance / Other). Accept, reject or edit — accepted tasks flow straight into the Compliance Hub.
The multi-page register the FCA asks to see when they turn up — every live policy, every approver, every operationalised task, and a complete audit trail from author to 2LoD to SMF sign-off. One click from the documents list. No consultants, no spreadsheets.
The Register is not a cover sheet — it is the full audit-grade artefact: cover page, policy schedule, then per-policy Document Control, Operationalised Tasks, and Approval Information blocks. Drawn from the 74-template library across 10 categories, with every draft-to-live status chip, review-date and operationalised task surfaced in one PDF.
Every policy in the register carries the same evidenced chain: who drafted it, which 2LoD function challenged it, what Anna’s quality score was, what the approver decided, and when the record locked. The same structure the FCA’s skilled-person reviewers ask for.

Policy Studio enforces what most firms skip: a proper sign-off workflow. The policy owner in the 1LoD drafts; the senior compliance officer in the 2LoD challenges; the CEO under SM&CR attests. Rejections capture name, role, date and rationale — the document is bounced back to Editor, not quietly deleted.
74 expert-authored FCA templates across 10 regulatory categories · Anna drafting 4,000-word policies with /10 quality scoring · Google Docs round-trip with full revision history · the Operationalise stage no competitor offers (every commitment to a page-referenced tracked task) · named-SMF approval workflow · regulator-ready multi-page Policy Register PDF. Replaces the £10,000–£25,000/year consultant-retainer model that delivers Word drafts with no operational follow-through.
Setup — Import — Editor — Operationalise — Approval. Every document follows the same wizard with a live completion ring. The wizard remembers where you are. Nothing gets lost.
Ten colour-coded categories shipped — and the Upload Your Own button in Setup means your existing policies sit alongside them as first-class citizens. Same Google Docs collaboration, same Anna Review, same Operationalise flow, same Approval workflow. Your documents get the full system — not a second-class upload bin.
Anna doesn’t just give you a template. She plans, drafts, reviews and rewrites — as three separate, auditable calls you trigger from the top of the editor. Separately in Setup she proposes 5–8 key elements before drafting (“help me plan”); in the Editor she detects coverage gaps after drafting (“help me fix”). Two different questions. Two different Anna calls.
The completion ring updates as each stage locks. Documents can be picked up mid-flight by any authorised user — the wizard remembers exactly where you stopped.
Anna reads the approved policy, extracts every must/shall/will/required-to clause, and suggests a task — with frequency, category, and the exact page of the source document. Accept, reject or edit. Accepted tasks flow straight into the Compliance Hub.
| Task | Frequency | Category | Page | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✅ | Monitor framework and KPIs | Monthly | Monitoring | p.28 |
| ✅ | Conduct periodic reassessment triggers | Quarterly | Review | p.28 |
| ✅ | Follow governance escalation procedures | One-time | Governance | p.29 |

Anna scores every document 1–10 across completeness, regulatory accuracy, practical guidance, clarity and structure. If below 9, exactly three actionable suggestions. Apply Feedback appends each fix as a 300+ word section. Reviewing and gap-analysing are free — only writes cost credits. The quality ratchet is built into the writing process.
Approver name, role, date, written rationale, Approve/Reject decision. Captured against the document. Survives re-approval. Exactly what a skilled-person review asks for.
Cover · stats tiles · schedule table · document control · operationalised tasks · approval record — per policy. CONFIDENTIAL footer on every page. Answers the FCA’s three questions in one export: do you have policies? Are they approved? What tasks discharge the commitments? This is what you hand to the FCA.
Every document opens in authentic Google Docs for collaborative editing. Sync Changes is a two-sided flush: the human preview refreshes and Anna's text cache invalidates, so her next Review never runs against stale content.
Anna reading, reviewing and gap-analysing your document is free (creditCost: 0). Credits only consumed when she writes: generation 300, rewrite 500, per-suggestion refinement 50, control mapping 100.
Beyond the 10-category template library, every policy carries a standardised subject code used for downstream filtering and reporting. The classification the whole platform reasons about.
Every save writes to three surfaces at once: Google Drive (source of truth), a JotForm metadata record, and the Document Library under category Compliance Policies. A policy you approve here appears in your firm's library automatically.
Reject captures approver name, role, date and rationale. Document returns to Stage 4 (Editor) with full history. An author revising the draft has explicit written feedback — and an audit trail survives for any skilled-person review.
The Feb 2025 release cut Anna's response time by ~95% via a new fast /get-document-text endpoint. Evidence of an actively-tuned platform, not a stale one.
A quietly smart detail: policies need SMF sign-off; manuals and forms often don't. The toggle handles the genuine distinction, not force-marches every document down the same pipeline.
A competitor copying the UI wouldn't match the output. A competitor copying the prompt wouldn't match the expertise encoded in it. That's the real moat — not the model, the prompt engineering.

Anna is the platform's 25-year FCA compliance assistant — trained on SYSC, MLR 2017, PRIN, COBS, ICOBS, CASS, SM&CR, GDPR, PROD and the Consumer Duty. She drafts a 4,000-word policy in minutes, scores it /10, applies her own fixes, and answers any policy-related regulatory question your team asks — with rule-level citations.
Anna does four things for Policy Studio. She drafts a 4,000-word policy with 12–15 mandatory sections from a single brief. She reviews any policy — scoring it 1–10 with exactly three specific actionable fixes. She rewrites a policy from scratch or as an improvement of the existing draft, proposing a chapter list first. And she answers any policy-related regulatory question your team asks, cited to rule and paragraph.
“Draft me an Anti-Bribery policy, 20 pages.” “What does MLR 2017 Reg 28 require in an EDD section?” “Review this Whistleblowing Policy and score it.” Anna answers from the handbook and drafts/reviews/rewrites your document live — cited, British English, FCA-grade prose.
A firm currently paying £10k–£25k/year for policy drafting and review can reserve consultant time for edge-case judgement — Anna handles the production work across AML, Consumer Duty, SM&CR, Data Protection and Op Res. See her draft a live policy in a demo.
From MLROs to consultants — how firms are replacing Word files on shared drives with live, operationalised policies.
We had 28 policies across AML, Consumer Duty, SM&CR and Op Res — all Word files, no approval record, commitments nobody was tracking. Policy Studio re-drafted the lot in a fortnight. Anna's quality scores gave our board something tangible to sign off against. But the killer feature is Operationalise — every policy now has a live task list with page references. Auditors love it.
I run compliance consultancy for 14 firms. We used to charge £1,500–£5,000 per policy for drafting and annual updates — a genuinely large chunk of my P&L, but tedious production work. Policy Studio has unbundled that. My clients get better drafts in minutes; my team focuses on edge-case judgement. Honestly? It's made my service offering stronger, not weaker. The Register PDF we hand to each firm's board is the cleanest thing I've produced in 20 years.
