Extraction Pipeline

Every document passes through a three-layer extraction pipeline designed to maximize deterministic coverage while using local LLMs only for the residual 5–15% of text that keyword scoring cannot resolve:

  1. Python/pdfplumber — PDF text extraction with section-aware chunking (500-word target, heading detection)
  2. Deterministic keyword scoring — 30+ discriminating terms per domain, 87–100% chunk classification rate
  3. Local LLM inference — Ollama qwen3:30b for unresolved chunks, 97% hit rate on the residual

White Paper: Regulatory Contagion

When one jurisdiction tightens supervision on a risk domain, how quickly do others follow? This panel provides the first systematically comparable measurement of topic-level supervisory attention across major banking jurisdictions. Combined with the adoption-lag panel, it enables direct estimation of regulatory propagation speeds and identification of “first-mover” vs. “follower” agencies on emerging risks like climate, crypto, and operational resilience.

Applications: Cross-border supervisory gap analysis, regulatory arbitrage detection, international coordination measurement, emerging-risk early warning
