## Common Questions

### Is the Document Intelligence service legal advice?
No. We deliver AI-assisted analysis for review by the client's qualified compliance team or legal counsel. Every finding is framed as a "potential misalignment identified - recommend review" with paragraph-level citations for the team to verify. We do not state whether a document complies or does not comply.

### Where is client data processed?
Documents are processed via enterprise Anthropic API endpoints under commercial terms that prohibit training on client inputs. Standard processing occurs on US infrastructure under Standard Contractual Clauses. UK/EU residency is available on request via AWS Bedrock EU regions. Data Processing Agreements are provided before any engagement starts.

### Can AUTOM8LABS be engaged as a white-label partner?
Yes. Compliance consultancies and law firms can engage us as a back-office: the firm scopes the engagement with the end client, AUTOM8LABS delivers the analysis under the firm's brand, and the firm retains the client relationship.

### What document types does Document Intelligence review?
Customer-facing regulated documents including prospectuses, KIIDs, policy wordings, Terms of Business, Key Features Documents, client agreements, target-market statements, suitability templates, factsheets, and marketing collateral - cross-referenced against the firm's governing rules, internal compliance checklists, and any mandatory regulator wording.

### How long does a typical Document Intelligence audit take?
Two to five working days from document handover to findings report, depending on document length and reference framework complexity. Longer documents and larger rule books extend timelines proportionately. Fixed-fee quotes are provided in writing after a 20-minute discovery call, before any work starts.
