Compliance Checks on Existing Contracts

The Problem

Regulations require companies to periodically review their existing contracts against evolving rules. In practice, this means compliance teams run database queries to select contracts matching certain conditions, then manually check each one against a list of regulatory criteria.

Massive manual effort, minimal yield

Teams review hundreds of contracts to find the handful that actually require action. A typical cycle might surface 5 problematic contracts out of 200 reviewed — but every single one still has to be checked by hand.

Everything must be documented

Regulators don't just want results — they want proof of process. Every check, every outcome, every decision needs a paper trail that can withstand inspection. Teams spend as much time documenting as they do evaluating.

Inspections are real and regular

Regulatory inspections aren't theoretical. They happen on a recurring basis, and non-compliance results in heavy fines. The cost of getting it wrong isn't hypothetical — it's a line item.

Rules change, queries don't update themselves

Regulations shift once or twice a year. Each change means rewriting SQL queries, updating checklists, and retraining the team — a slow, error-prone cycle that creates compliance gaps in the interim.

Real-world scenario

A compliance team at an insurance company needs to verify that all active contracts meet updated regulatory criteria. They query their database for contracts matching certain parameters, pull 200 results, and begin manually checking each one against a set of rules.
After days of work, they find 5 contracts that need remediation. But the work isn't done — they now need to document every check they performed, every contract they reviewed, and every decision they made, creating an audit-ready paper trail for the next regulatory inspection.

How Ruly Flow Solves It

Define compliance rules visually

Translate regulatory requirements into visual rule flows — conditions, thresholds, date checks, field comparisons — without writing SQL or code. Compliance officers build rules directly, not through developer proxies.

Run against your contract portfolio

Feed your contract data into the rule engine via API. Ruly Flow evaluates every contract against every applicable rule and returns structured results — which passed, which failed, and why.

Get an automatic audit trail

Every execution is logged immutably — which rules ran, which conditions matched, what the outcome was. No manual documentation. The audit trail writes itself as rules execute.

Update rules when regulations change

When regulations shift, compliance teams update the visual rules directly. Version history tracks every change — who edited what, when, and why. No developer tickets, no deployment cycles.
