Abstract :
Regulated organizations routinely absorb policy changes through a fragmented manual workflow in which analysts
detect updates, interpret downstream consequences, assign owners, and write change notes under time pressure. This paper
proposes a Regulatory Change Propagation Agent, a multi-agent architecture that detects regulatory differences and
orchestrates structured follow-up work while preserving human approval gates. The design combines a diff engine, a
dependency-graph reasoning layer, and notifier-authoring agents that transform upstream legal or policy changes into targeted
work packets. To evaluate the approach, the paper defines four operational metrics: detection latency, coverage of affected
sections, precision of impact mapping, and reviewer acceptance rate. A prototype evaluation on a synthetic but policy-shaped
corpus suggests that agentic orchestration can materially reduce time-to-detection and improve consistency of impact analysis
relative to manual baselines. The contribution of the paper is not only an automation pipeline, but also a governance pattern:
automation performs first-pass propagation, while human reviewers remain accountable for approval, override, and
publication.
