From manual filing research to competitive intelligence

I built a workflow that collects regulatory filings, extracts comparable product information, and delivers it in workbooks and a dashboard. It supported a $1M engagement and became tooling a national team uses and builds on.

Recreated interface with representative demo data, not client material.

The problem

Analysts needed to compare competitors’ products across states. The source material was public, but collecting it meant navigating a stateful portal and reading documents filing by filing. The opportunity was to turn that repeated research into a process the team could run for a new carrier, state, or product line.

How it works

I built a phased pipeline that collects metadata and attachments, extracts product provisions into structured records, and produces an Excel comparison workbook and a filterable dashboard. Cloud runs use AWS EC2, S3, and Systems Manager; a separate one-click local package lets colleagues run the tooling on locked-down Windows work machines.

The intelligence supported the sale and delivery of a $1M engagement. A national team adopted the tooling and began building further work on top of it. The commercial result belongs to the engagement; the software made the underlying research repeatable and available to the team.

The AI

Collection is resumable: reruns skip completed work instead of starting over. Extracted records follow a strict schema and retain document and page references. A second-model review normalizes terminology across states, and enrichment instructions require a quoted source for each claim. These checks support analyst review; citations give the reviewer a route back to the original material.
