Building auditable regulatory reference data: from legal text to versioned CSV

The piece argues for turning legal and regulatory guidance into small, versioned CSV datasets that are auditable and traceable.

Each rule should carry explicit fields for scope, triggers, deadlines, sources, versioning, and review dates, plus explanatory documentation pages.

This approach makes evolving rules such as DUERP, electronic invoicing, LMNP, and French labour law easier to verify, reuse, and maintain.

The goal is to treat obligations as source-backed reference data so changes remain transparent and maintainable over time.
