The challenge

Regulatory extraction sits at the foundation of every EPR program decision, and it is slow, high-stakes and easy to get wrong. A single misread obligation can carry through into contracts, fee structures and facility plans.

The approach

I began with the analyses I had already produced by hand: statutory citation extraction, needs assessment synthesis, public comment analysis and stakeholder mapping. I took each one apart into its underlying reasoning, then rebuilt it as a reproducible AI prompt that returns the same traceable, citation-backed output every time.

Every prompt was validated by working backward from my finished manual work and checking each output against its source document. Only what held up entered the library.

The presentation

20+ senior leaders & program managers
I then brought the framework to the people who would use it. I presented the methodology at an executive level to more than twenty senior company leaders and program managers, walking them through how each prompt was built, how it was verified, and how to apply it to new jurisdictions with confidence. The result was a shared, trusted method in place of one analyst's expertise.

How I think & work

Sustainability is an economic strategy, not an act of charity.

  1. i.

    Goodwill is fragile. Strategy endures.

    When sustainability is treated as goodwill, it lives in a cost center and depends on good intentions, so it is often the first budget reconsidered in a difficult quarter. Programs framed only as "the right thing to do" are easy to praise and just as easy to set aside.

  2. ii.

    Every impact has a cost. Make it visible.

    Material waste is margin leakage. EPR fees and ecomodulation put a price on packaging decisions. Supplier emissions surface as regulatory exposure and cost of capital. Once the impact is priced, sustainability stops being a values debate and becomes a line item worth improving.

  3. iii.

    Credibility is built at the source.

    An economic case is only as strong as its least certain figure. I trace every number to its source, every requirement to its pinpoint citation, and every AI output to a document I can open. Audit-ready is not a final step; it is how the work is built.

  4. iv.

    Speak the language of the decision.

    Analysis only matters once it reaches the people who decide. I translate science, statute and supply chain data into ROI, risk and timelines, the terms that finance leaders, operators and program heads already use.
