AUSTIN, TX – May 1, 2025 – Vulcan Technologies, Inc. today announced a groundbreaking partnership with the Commonwealth of Virginia's Office of Regulatory Management (ORM) to conduct a three-month pilot program aimed at dramatically reducing regulatory complexity through advanced AI technology.
The $150,000 engagement positions Vulcan at the forefront of government modernization efforts, leveraging the company's proprietary Intelligent Legal Ontology Engine to identify, analyze, and streamline Virginia's regulatory framework. The ambitious project targets a 25% reduction in the state's regulatory corpus while maintaining essential legal protections.
"This partnership represents a paradigm shift in how governments approach regulatory reform," said Tanner H. Jones, CEO of Vulcan Technologies. "Our Intelligent Legal Ontology Engine understands the relationships between statutes, regulations, guidance, case law, and economic impacts, enabling precise identification and remedy of redundancy and inefficiency."
Key Innovation Highlights:
AI-Powered Delegation Audit: Vulcan's technology will automatically identify regulations that have become obsolete or unenforceable under Governor Youngkin's Executive Order 19.
Plain Language Transformation: The Intelligent Legal Ontology Engine will systematically convert complex regulatory language into clear, accessible text while preserving legal requirements.
Economic Impact Modeling: Proprietary algorithms will calculate real-time cost savings for businesses and citizens as regulations are streamlined.
The pilot program, running from May through August 2025, will deliver comprehensive recommendations including:
A strategic regulatory reduction plan
Redrafted regulations in plain language
Overhauled guidance documents
Full economic impact analysis
Implementation roadmap for statewide deployment
The project also includes a specialized maintenance audit of Capital Square operations, demonstrating the versatility of Vulcan's AI platform in optimizing government efficiency across multiple domains.
