Craton Labs
Reading filings. Filling trackers. Writing the same reports. Cross-referencing regulations. It's 80% of every engagement — and none of it requires judgment. Atlas handles that part. Your team does the rest.
Currently in early access with BFSI consultancies in Mumbai and Delhi.
The Problem
Your senior analyst spent Tuesday reading a 200-page vendor contract to extract 12 clauses. Your compliance lead spent Wednesday mapping a new SEBI framework against 3 clients' existing policies — in Excel. Thursday, someone assembled an evidence pack for an audit by searching shared drives for 4 hours.
Different engagements. Same pattern. Reading, cross-referencing, filling trackers, assembling deliverables that look identical to last quarter's. None of it requires professional judgment. All of it eats your team's week.
"Compliance officers spend 60–80% of their time reading dense filings, cross-referencing requirements, and flagging violations."
"89% of in-house lawyers spend 3–8 hours per week just trying to stay current with regulatory changes — 400 hours annually on information processing, not strategic work."
"70+ hours per week consumed by interpreting regulator communications, collecting evidence, updating statuses, and last-minute audit preparation."
The 80% — Grunt Work
→ Reading documents and extracting structured data
→ Filling trackers, registers, and compliance matrices
→ Writing standardized reports and deliverables
→ Reconciling data across sources
→ Comparing documents against requirements
→ Chasing status updates and tracking deadlines
The 20% — What You're Paid For
→ Forming opinions and making recommendations
→ Exercising professional judgment
→ Negotiating and persuading
→ Designing novel solutions
→ Managing relationships
→ Making risk/reward tradeoffs
80%
of every consulting engagement is mechanical work that doesn't require professional judgment.

Atlas
Atlas is a web application that turns document-heavy engagements into structured outputs — cited, verified, and ready to deliver to your client.
Upload PDFs — regulations, policies, contracts, audit packs. Atlas parses page by page, classifies document type, indexes every paragraph.
Obligations, clauses, requirements, findings — extracted with exact quotes, page numbers, and severity. Citation-verified against source text.
Compare any document against another — policy vs regulation, contract vs template, current state vs requirements. Gaps flagged with evidence.
Auto-populated compliance matrices, action trackers, and requirement registers. Every cell cites its source. Assign owners, set deadlines.
Ask questions across your entire document set. Answers come with the exact paragraph, page, and source document. Audit-ready by default.
Export trackers, gap reports, obligation lists, and audit evidence packs. Hand deliverables to your client in the format they expect.
Use Cases
Regulatory Compliance
Upload an RBI or SEBI circular. Atlas extracts every obligation, compares against your client's existing policies, flags gaps, and populates a compliance tracker — with cited sources in every cell.
Input: Regulatory circular (PDF)
Output: Obligation register, gap report, compliance matrix
Before: 2–3 days
After: 30 minutes + review
Audit Preparation
Upload the audit framework and your client's policy set. Atlas maps controls to evidence, identifies documentation gaps, and generates working papers with traceability back to source documents.
Input: Audit framework + policies
Output: Control mapping, evidence tracker, working papers
Before: 1–2 weeks
After: 1–2 days + review
Contract Review
Upload a contract. Atlas extracts key clauses, flags non-standard terms, identifies missing protections, and compares against your firm's standard template. Your lawyer reviews the exceptions, not the boilerplate.
Input: Contract (PDF/DOCX)
Output: Clause summary, risk flags, deviation report
Before: 4–6 hours
After: 30 minutes + review
Requirement Documentation
Upload a regulation or standard. Atlas extracts every requirement, assigns identifiers, maps dependencies, and produces a traceability matrix your team can build implementation plans against.
Input: Regulation, standard, or framework
Output: Requirement register, traceability matrix
Before: 1–2 weeks
After: 1–2 hours + review
Why Atlas
Generic AI tools answer questions about a document. Atlas understands the regulatory state of a client across years — and gets smarter with every engagement.
Atlas doesn't forget between sessions. It remembers what was extracted last quarter, which gaps were flagged, what the client resolved, and how the regulatory landscape evolved since. Every engagement compounds.
Circulars don't replace each other — they amend and layer. Atlas maps the dependency chain: which obligation is still active, which was superseded, what changed. Not just search — temporal understanding.
Every claim traces to a specific paragraph in a specific document. If Atlas can't cite it, it doesn't show it. In BFSI consulting, an uncited answer is worse than no answer.
AWS Mumbai. No cross-border transfer. DPDP Act compliant. Client regulatory data never touches US infrastructure — which disqualifies most alternatives for this buyer.
The Difference
The Difference
Today
→ SEBI updates the CSCRF framework. Your team reads 80 pages to figure out what changed.
→ Auditor asks for evidence against 47 controls. Someone searches shared drives for 2 days.
→ A 200-page vendor contract arrives. Associate reads it cover to cover to find 15 key clauses.
→ Three clients need impact assessments by Friday. Each one is built from scratch in Excel.
With Atlas
→ Framework uploaded. Changes identified, obligations extracted, gaps flagged — in minutes.
→ Evidence mapped to controls automatically. Gaps surfaced before the auditor asks.
→ Contract parsed. Key clauses, risk flags, and deviations from template — ready to review.
→ Same assessment, three clients. Consultant reviews and adds judgment. Done by lunch.
Who This Is For
You're a 10-to-50-person BFSI consultancy. You advise NBFCs, insurers, asset managers, pension funds. You compete with firms ten times your size — and win on expertise and relationships.
But the grunt work doesn't scale. Every new client means more reading, more tracking, more reports that look identical to last quarter's. Your best people spend their weeks on work that doesn't require them.
We built Craton because we sat in those same chairs. We know the frustration. And we believe machines should read and track, while humans advise and decide.
