Experimental Legal Research Tool

Regulatory Overlap Finder

The Regulatory Overlap Finder is an experimental tool for comparing legal and regulatory texts and identifying possible overlaps, duplication, and shared legal functions across provisions.

It is designed to support legal research, policy mapping, and regulatory coherence analysis. Users can paste two regulatory texts, compare them provision by provision, and review similarity scores, overlapping legal functions, and possible areas for further analysis.

What the tool can help identify

  • similar regulatory provisions
  • possible duplication of mandates or obligations
  • shared legal functions, such as licensing, reporting, supervision, sanctions, definitions, and institutional coordination
  • article-level or paragraph-level similarity between two legal instruments

This tool provides an analytical screening output only. It does not constitute legal advice and should not replace doctrinal legal analysis, statutory interpretation, or institutional review.
