Compliance Desks

Boring markets where public bodies and businesses must act by a date. One machine, one domain per market. Ranked by how fast a small AI-first firm can get paid.

The answer: yes, we can make money

  1. The idea: find small government bodies that must do a boring job by a legal deadline, show them their own gap for free, and do the job for a fixed price they can sign without a tender.
  2. First money: Ontario municipal privacy. From January 1, 2027 every Ontario municipality, school board and police board must have privacy impact assessments, breach reporting and written safeguards. Most have no privacy staff. We sell a CA$4,900 readiness pack.
  3. Keep going: accessibility (5 village emails ready, Islands Trust bid, regional deals at CA$15K to 45K).
  4. Next year: lead pipe inventories for small US water systems, due November 1, 2027.
  5. How much: about $40K to $120K in the first year (estimate), more as repeat work builds.

What we actually do in each job

Ontario municipal privacy

Towns collect personal information all the time: recreation sign-ups, bylaw complaints, cameras, payroll. From January 1, 2027 the law says they must check each of these for privacy risk in writing first, have a plan for when information leaks, and report serious leaks to the Privacy Commissioner.

We deliver

  • A list of every place the town collects personal information
  • Written privacy assessments, starting with their main forms
  • A breach plan with a simple "is this serious?" decision tree and ready notice letters
  • A safeguards policy and a one-page council briefing
  • A 1-hour staff session online

Who does it

  • AI drafts about 80%: inventory, assessments, policies, letters
  • A certified privacy professional (CIPP/C) reviews and signs, paid per job
  • Gurleen: one video call with the clerk

Competition we found

  • Tectonix: one certified consultant selling the same thing
  • Vayle: software from $7,160 a year, the town still fills it in
  • Free government templates, but staff must do the work

Fully online, one person plus Trejon.

Accessibility for public bodies

Government documents and websites must work for people who are blind, have low vision or use a keyboard only. BC bodies must also have an accessibility plan, reviewed every 3 years.

We deliver

  • A check of every public document and the website
  • Fixed PDFs and forms that screen readers can read
  • BC: the accessibility plan, a plain-language version and an action table
  • Two online sessions with their accessibility committee

Who does it

  • AI does the checks, fixes and drafting
  • A certified accessibility reviewer (CPACC) signs the report
  • A tester who uses a screen reader daily does the final pass

Competition we found

  • BC: Untapped Accessibility, Bolt Access, Urban Matters, Meaningful Access
  • US: website vendors bundle it, from about US$9K to 30K
  • Cheap PDF fixers at US$4 to 12 a page

Fully online, one person plus Trejon.

US water systems: lead pipe inventory

Small water systems must list every pipe that connects a home to the water main and say what it is made of (lead or not), then write a plan to replace the lead ones by November 1, 2027. Many still have thousands of pipes marked "unknown".

We deliver

  • Old records turned into the state's inventory spreadsheet
  • Each pipe classified by the rule
  • The replacement plan document
  • Customer notice letters and the public inventory list

Who does it

  • AI does about 60 to 70%: records, sorting, documents
  • Not us: digging up unknown pipes in the field (their crew or a local contractor)
  • Some states want an engineer to review: a US partner, paid per job

Competition we found

  • Engineering firms that bundle it (Stantec, CDM Smith, 120Water)
  • Free government help programs for tiny systems
  • Nobody selling a fixed-price 5-day records package

Online for the paperwork; the digging stays with the town.

Quebec French for businesses

Businesses selling in Quebec must have their website, product information and packaging in French. Complaints hit a record 11,125 last year.

We deliver

  • A check of their website and product pages
  • Full French versions in Quebec terms
  • A list of what else must change (labels, contracts, signage)

Who does it

  • AI translates and checks
  • A fluent Quebec French reviewer approves
  • A Quebec lawyer confirms the rules once, before we sell

Competition we found

  • Translation agencies, who translate but do not check compliance
  • The French-language office's free help, which does not do the work

Fully online, one person plus Trejon and a reviewer.

Anyone can enter these markets, and that is the risk. Our edge is speed and price from AI, a free check on the buyer's own material before we ask for anything, and sending 10 to 20 tailored emails a day, which a solo consultant cannot do by hand.

One machine for every desk

  1. FindTarget list from public registries, with the deadline and the buyer's published contact.
  2. CheckFree check of their own public material, turned into a professional, accessible PDF report.
  3. PriceFixed price under their small-purchase limit, plus a repeat item where the law repeats.
  4. Send10 to 20 personal emails a day per desk from its own domain, one follow-up, a daily list to Gurleen.
  5. DeliverOur tools do the work; a named credentialed reviewer signs every job.

Decisions for Gurleen

  2. Buy municipalprivacydesk.ca and civicaccessdesk.com, about US$31 together.
  3. Go on the Ontario municipal privacy desk. Nothing is sent until you approve its first email.
  4. A standing rule for daily sending, so you approve the template once, not every email.
