Design Partners · Pre-launch · 5 spots

We need five CCOs to break Anvil.

Design partners run Anvil on documents from their actual examination workflow — not controlled demos. You tell us what fails. We fix it. The product gets built around how you actually work.

What this is

Not a beta programme. An exchange.

Anvil is pre-launch. Before it opens to the broader market, five compliance professionals get 30-day full access in exchange for real operational feedback. Not a survey. Not a focus group.

You use it on real regulatory documents under real time pressure and tell us where it falls short. We fix it. The product that ships to everyone else gets shaped by what you tell us in the first 30 days.

After this founding cohort, the design phase closes. The firms that join now have direct influence on the product that doesn’t exist at any later stage.

What you get

Full access. Direct line. No cost.

  • 30-day full access, no cost Run any regulatory document through Anvil for 30 days — FINRA notices, SEC final rules, multi-agency releases, exam priority letters. Any firm type, any document.
  • Direct line to the founding team Not a ticket queue. Not a support form. A direct channel — email or Slack — with a response within the hour during business hours. If something breaks, we fix it that day.
  • The product built around your workflow Feedback you give in the first 30 days directly shapes what ships to everyone else. The edge cases you find, the firm-specific nuances you flag, the outputs that don’t match your reality — those become the next release.
  • Named founding partner status (optional) You can be publicly credited as a founding design partner when Anvil launches — or stay completely anonymous. Either works. Your choice, confirmed in writing before anything is published.
  • Preferred pricing at launch Design partners who convert to paid accounts after the 30 days receive founding-partner pricing — locked for two years regardless of where the standard price goes.

What we need

Real documents. Honest feedback. Four sessions.

  • 01
    Run at least five documents through Anvil Regulatory notices, final rules, exam priority letters, guidance — whatever you’re actually working with. Not documents you pick because they’re easy. Documents you’d normally spend hours on.
  • 02
    Three to four structured feedback sessions Each session is 45 minutes, scheduled on your calendar, with a specific agenda we send in advance. We want to know what the brief got right, what it got wrong, and what’s missing for your firm type.
  • 03
    Honest assessment of where it breaks The more specific the failure mode, the more useful it is. “The RIA brief missed the dual-registration angle entirely” is what we need. “It was pretty good” is not.
  • 04
    One co-authored case study A documented account of your experience with Anvil — what you used it for, how the output compared to your manual process, what changed. You review and approve every word before it’s published or shared.

Who this is for

Specific criteria. Not a broad call.

Right fit

CCO or compliance lead at a mid-market RIA ($100M–$1B AUM), broker-dealer, or hedge fund
Former FINRA examiner or enforcement attorney who reviews regulatory analysis professionally
Compliance technology decision-maker who evaluates tools for their firm

Not the right fit

Large institutional teams already served by Thomson Reuters or Wolters Kluwer at enterprise pricing
Pure legal counsel who advises on compliance but doesn’t run programmes day-to-day

Anyone who can’t name a regulatory document they’re currently working through
