  • DF2020 Limited — Df2020 have identified a huge, transformative opportunity – the digitisation of regulation, which currently costs the world in excess of USD 5 trillion a year to administer. The current state of regulations across every country is based upon paper-based documents, which are interpreted by each public and private organization, resulting with highadministration costs, whilst cultivating many types of risks because of the variety of interpretations. An Australian in-depth study (Unleashing Productivity), by Deloitte, estimated that it costs AUD 94bn to administer and comply with Australian federal, state, and local government rules. This equates to circa 6% of Australia’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The equivalent annual cost of regulation to the UK economy is GDP 170bn, for the USA economy the cost is USD 1,286bn, and for the world economy the cost is USD 5,236bn. After extensive research and development, we can now digitise rule-based knowledge such as regulations and procedures. Our approach from the outset, has been to develop a universal and unifying language with embedded methods to transcend from the monologue to the dialogue of rule-based knowledge traditionally found in paper-based documents or equivalent. This quest has been about the shift of treating rule-based knowledge as an intangible to a tangible, working and measurable asset. Our journey has transversed across public and private sectors to ensure our approach was universal in the way it could codify increasing complexity, whilst masking this complexity from the human interaction. Just as importantly, we have automatically generated an audit trail of the human interaction for safeguarding people and organisations. The biggest value comes from the standardisation of dialogue-data, which enables continuous intelligence, benchmarks, patterns and predictions to be delivered in an accurate and timely manner for learnings at the edge. Our technology covers: RegTech, White-box Algorithms, Dialogue-Step Orchestration (contextual data input, image, picture, pickup codes, adaptive cars); Digital Agents (stateless software services similar in concept to Agent-Based Models), Azure Cloud, SaaS, new form of Big Data (one dimensional dialogue-strings), Compliance Automation, Analytics, APIs, Progressive Web Apps, access from multiple channels, and AI/ML.
