# Adherencepost

*/Startups/Adherencepost*

## Startup Overview

This compliance engine inspects outbound marketing content to automatically flag regulatory violations before publication. It evaluates copy, images, and video assets against current legal frameworks, immediately identifying prohibited claims, missing mandatory disclosures, and off-label usage language.

Marketing teams in highly regulated industries currently rely on slow manual legal reviews or rigid legacy approval systems that choke content velocity. Compliance officers spend hours scrutinizing promotional materials to catch nuanced phrasing errors, creating bottlenecks that delay campaign launches and restrict creative output.

Unlike Veeva PromoMats or Proofpoint, which force teams into proprietary portals, this system operates invisibly within existing marketing workflows. It intercepts content at the draft stage and returns precise legal corrections directly to creators, simultaneously generating deterministic audit trails for compliance teams without disrupting the authoring process.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that automatically flags regulatory violations in outbound marketing content

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 0% false-negative rate for explicitly defined regulatory triggers.
- Aiming to reduce manual legal review time for standard marketing copy by up to 80%.
- Designed to return compliance verdicts on text and image assets in under 30 seconds.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Sweep · Price: ~$500–$900/mo · Inclusions: Automated scanning for up to 500 outbound marketing assets per month against standard FDA, FINRA, or FTC baseline rulesets.
- Name: Volume Audit · Price: ~$1,500–$2,800/mo · Inclusions: Up to 2,500 assets per month, plus the ability to load custom organizational compliance guidelines into the deterministic engine.
- Name: Workflow Integration · Price: enterprise: ~$35k–$50k/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited scan volume, intended direct webhooks into marketing CMS platforms, and exportable, deterministic audit trails for legal teams.
**Guarantee**: If the system fails to flag an asset that violates your explicitly loaded regulatory rulebook, we refund the scanning costs for that billing cycle.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- AI tools hallucinate legal advice -> Adherencepost does not generate legal advice; it uses deterministic logic to map detected phrases directly to cited, verifiable regulatory codes.
- Marketers hate adding steps to their workflow -> The system is designed to run invisibly in the background, automatically intercepting drafts at the CMS level before publication.
- Our internal legal guidelines are highly specific -> The scanning engine accepts custom rule injections, allowing your legal team to define exact forbidden phrases and required disclaimers.
- We need proof of review for external auditors -> Every scan generates a deterministic audit trail, logging the exact timestamp, asset version, and matched regulatory rules.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: B2B → Marketing Operations Manager → Legal & Compliance Reviewer
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires customers through targeted outbound to Marketing Operations leaders facing campaign launch delays due to manual legal reviews. Expands by securing initial deployment on high-frequency social media channels, then extending coverage to long-form collateral, website content, and email campaigns.
**Agent Channel**: Designed for inclusion in the LangChain tool registry and the OpenAI API schema directory as a deterministic compliance node, enabling autonomous content-generation agents to call the API for regulatory validation before finalizing marketing drafts.
**Primary Channel**: Discovery via the HubSpot App Marketplace and Marketo LaunchPoint directories when marketing operations professionals search for compliance enforcement or approval workflow extensions.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day historical pilot: Scan 500 previously published marketing assets against FTC baseline rules to prove the deterministic engine identifies 100% of known historical compliance violations without false negatives.
- 60-day workflow pilot: Connect Adherencepost directly to a marketing team's CMS via webhook, aiming to demonstrate seamless background interception that returns actionable compliance verdicts in under 30 seconds per draft.
**Target Metrics**:
- target: 0% false-negative rate on explicitly defined regulatory triggers in outbound marketing text
- aim: 80% reduction in manual legal review time for standard marketing copy
- target: under 30-second return time for compliance verdicts on text and image assets
- aim: 100% automated generation of timestamped, deterministic audit trails for scanned assets
**Target Case Studies**:
- Target: Mid-sized wealth management firm. Transformation: Moving from a multi-day manual FINRA compliance review process for social media posts to a 30-second automated scan, catching targeted missing risk disclaimers before publication.
- Target: Regional telehealth provider. Transformation: Integrating FDA baseline rulesets directly into their marketing CMS to automatically block promotional emails that lack required side-effect disclosures, aiming to save their legal counsel hours of manual review.
- Target: High-volume direct-to-consumer brand. Transformation: Using custom rule injections to automatically screen 1,000+ monthly influencer affiliate assets for FTC disclosure violations, generating deterministic audit logs for their compliance board.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Target Role: Chief Compliance Officer at a financial institution. Sentiment: Relief that the system uses verifiable deterministic logic mapped to regulatory codes rather than hallucination-prone generative AI, producing legally defensible audit trails.
- Target Role: VP of Marketing at a healthcare brand. Sentiment: Excitement that the CMS webhook integration runs compliance checks invisibly in the background without adding a separate bottleneck to their publishing workflow.
- Target Role: In-house Legal Counsel. Sentiment: Confidence in the custom rule injection feature, noting it precisely enforces their highly specific, internal brand-safety guidelines alongside standard baseline rules.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Regulatory bodies fundamentally alter compliance frameworks, invalidating the deterministic rule engine and forcing a complete rebuild of the core scanning model. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Major marketing platforms like HubSpot or Salesforce revoke API access required to invisibly intercept and scan outbound content. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Compliance officers refuse to sign off on automated approvals without manual review interfaces, rejecting the core invisible workflow premise. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: low · Description: Marketing teams use unsupported shadow-IT distribution channels to bypass the scanner during urgent campaigns, breaking the audit trail. · Mitigation Status: mitigated
