The honest read on AI for regulatory affairs managers in NZ and Australia.
When regulatory affairs managers ask us what AI actually changes, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday?
How the work runs
We find the one workflow costing Regulatory Affairs Managers the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
0.04% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026).
By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.

Good questions, answered
What's the realistic outcome for Regulatory Affairs Managers?
0.04% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What's a typical engagement length for Regulatory Affairs Managers?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Draft strategy and planning docs, Summarise across teams and reports, Prepare board and client updates, Turn meetings into actions, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Can you work to the NZISM?
The NZISM is the government's information security manual and is written for vendors serving agencies as well as the agencies themselves, so government-adjacent work should be built to it.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
