Jennie Morawetz, who was named this week as CEO of regulatory intelligence company SCOREalytics, wants the company\u2019s product to become the accepted standard for how lawyers keep up with regulatory change. \u201cI want using SCORE to be the standard for due diligence, or for a general counsel who\u2019s tasked with staying on top of changes [\u2026]<\/p>\n

Jennie Morawetz<\/a>, who was named this week as CEO of regulatory intelligence company SCOREalytics, wants the company\u2019s product to become the accepted standard for how lawyers keep up with regulatory change.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want using SCORE to be the standard for due diligence, or for a general counsel who\u2019s tasked with staying on top of changes and updating the board quarterly on what matters,\u201d Morawetz told me in an interview yesterday.<\/p>\n

She wants a system \u201cthat enables people to say, I can rely on this, and that in the market is viewed as a reasonable decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

To get there, she said, the company has to do work that many AI vendors skip. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of companies out there right now that advertise scale of data,\u201d she said. \u201cBut one of the things that I like to say is a document pile is not a data set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morawetz, a former Kirkland & Ellis partner, moves into the CEO position after a year as the company\u2019s chief strategy officer and general counsel.<\/p>\n

She said the move was \u201ca fairly natural next step\u201d after the former CEO left the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been very embedded for the last year with the product team, working very closely with our chief technology officer Lawrence Krubner, our VP of roduct Lizzie Palmer, and all of the engineers that have been working on the product,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve also been very closely involved with our customer interactions, so it\u2019s a pretty natural step for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

An \u2018Impulsive\u2019 Leap From Big Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During her 10 years at Kirkland & Ellis, she helped build the firm\u2019s Sustainability Practice Group. She called that practice \u201ckind of a startup within a big law firm,\u201d and she said she loved the experience of building it.<\/p>\n

Leaving Kirkland for a legal tech startup, she said, \u201cwas actually one of the more impulsive decisions I\u2019ve ever made. And I\u2019m not a particularly impulsive person. I\u2019m a lawyer, so I think things through.\u201d<\/p>\n

But her client work had familiarized her with the problem of managing and tracking regulatory change, and then figuring out how to make strategic business decisions around it, and she knew that was the problem SCOREalytics was trying to solve.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the one that approached SCOREalytics and said, \u2018What do you think about me joining you and helping to make this a reality?\u2019\u201d At the time, the company had no lawyers on the team.<\/p>\n

Two Scores: Applicability and Priority<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Legal teams at law firms and corporations often tell the company they feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with regulatory changes, she said. Most still rely on email alerts, perhaps with AI summaries layered on top, and they keep reading because they fear missing the one development that matters.<\/p>\n

SCOREalytics\u2019 approach to addressing that problem starts directly at the source. \u201cWe don\u2019t just rely on internet searches, internet research, law firm alerts,\u201d she said. \u201cWe actually monitor the regulators.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company currently tracks regulators in about 30 countries. It also tracks courts and litigation and enforcement trends.<\/p>\n

Tracking currently focuses on energy and climate, environmental, labor and human rights, corporate governance, and information governance, which takes in cybersecurity, responsible AI and data privacy, with plans to add other topics.<\/p>\n

For example, the company recently added data centers as a topic in response to client requests, said Lydia Flocchini, a go-to-market adviser to the company who sat in on the interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is huge,\u201d Morawetz said. \u201cWe want to cover every area of law everywhere in the world.\u201d But she acknowledged that it can be challenging to get data from some regulators and for some areas of law, so the company is expanding a step at a time.<\/p>\n

As it monitors new developments, the platform matches them to entity profiles and gives each one two separate scores. The applicability score assesses whether an entity might fall within a rule\u2019s scope. When the answer is uncertain, the platform says what information the entity\u2019s profile lacks to make that determination.<\/p>\n

The priority score assumes the rule applies and asks how big a deal it is. It weighs factors such as enforcement trends, potential fines and penalties, deadlines and compliance burden.<\/p>\n

Morawetz offered an example from her sustainability practice. A greenhouse gas reporting law may be a light lift for a cloud-based tech company that mostly has offices, but a heavy one for a company with complex industrial operations.<\/p>\n

\u2018AI Isn\u2019t A Silver Bullet\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although the product uses AI, it does not overly rely on it, Morawetz said. \u201cAI isn\u2019t a silver bullet by any means, but it does allow us to do some things that we weren\u2019t previously able to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s process relies on both automation and people. Scrapers monitor government websites and AI pulls in the text of new developments. When the AI fails, as she said it sometimes does, an offshore team in the Philippines retrieves documents manually.<\/p>\n

The company then places each document within its regulatory structure, for example by linking a guidance document to the framework it interprets. It also parses regulations into chunks a lawyer would find intuitive \u2013 narrower than a whole title of the U.S. Code, for example, but not so narrow that they lose context.<\/p>\n

That structuring step uses what Morawetz described as \u201cantagonist agents,\u201d a multi-LLM system in which disagreements among the models get routed to a human for a final call. \u201cIf it\u2019s really complicated, it often bubbles all the way up to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLawyers don\u2019t like black boxes, so we try to make nothing a black box,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The platform shows how the scoring algorithm was applied so users can test it, and some customers have asked to layer their own risk algorithms on top of the company\u2019s, which the company is glad to do, Morawetz said<\/p>\n

She described the structuring work as \u201cpretty cutting edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re butting up against the capabilities of the LLMs in many ways,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re pushing to see how much we can accomplish, how sophisticated we can get with the parsing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediate Focus: Product and Market<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The company\u2019s customer base is a mix of law firms and in-house legal teams at large multinationals. Some private equity firms use the product for portfolio management, and some consulting firms have expressed interest.<\/p>\n

Customers use a SaaS dashboard where they set up entity profiles or topical focus areas, such as human rights. They can track specific regulations or cases and get email notifications.<\/p>\n

But Morawetz said the company recognizes \u201ca bit of platform fatigue out there,\u201d and it is looking at agent-to-agent communication and MCP connections that would deliver its output into the tools customers already use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to create the all-encompassing legal operating system,\u201d she said. \u201cWe really are trying to create a data set.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she steps into the CEO role, Morawetz told me that her immediate priorities are to keep developing the product and expanding the data set, and above all to accelerate the company\u2019s go-to-market over the next few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
