Material
What is ingested
Primary legislation
Acts, regulations and statutory instruments, with commencement tracked where it is published.
Regulator rulebooks
Handbook and rulebook provisions, at the level of the individual rule rather than the containing document.
Guidance and consultation
Regulator guidance, policy statements and consultation papers, labelled by status so non-binding material is never presented as a rule.
Case law
Decisions that have tested the regimes in question, including where a court has declined to resolve a point.
Honesty about depth
Coverage is not uniform, and we do not pretend otherwise
Depth varies by jurisdiction and by subject matter. Some regulators publish exhaustively and their regimes are mature; others have said comparatively little, and no amount of retrieval will manufacture authority that does not exist.
The useful property is what happens at the edge of coverage. Where the corpus does not support a proposition, DALI declines to make it rather than filling the gap from a model's general knowledge, which is the failure mode that makes a confident wrong answer indistinguishable from a right one.
FAQ
Coverage questions
Which jurisdictions does DALI cover?
DALI maintains a regulatory corpus for 13 jurisdictions: United Kingdom, United States, European Union, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, United Arab Emirates, Dubai International Financial Centre, Abu Dhabi Global Market, Ras Al Khaimah Digital Assets Oasis.
Are the UAE free zones treated as separate jurisdictions?
Yes. The DIFC, ADGM and RAK DAO are common-law jurisdictions with their own regulators and their own rulebooks, distinct from UAE onshore federal law. DALI stores them under separate jurisdiction codes, so a question can be targeted at DIFC law specifically and return only DIFC sources.
How does DALI handle international standards bodies?
Material from cross-cutting standard-setters such as the FSB, IOSCO, the Basel Committee and CPMI-IOSCO is tracked under a separate global designation. It is attributed as international standard-setting material rather than credited to whichever country adopted it first.
Is coverage equally deep in every jurisdiction?
No, and DALI does not present it as though it were. Corpus depth varies by jurisdiction and by subject matter, reflecting how much material each regulator publishes and how developed each regime is. Where the corpus does not support a proposition, DALI declines to make it rather than filling the gap from a model's general knowledge.
