Custom design and layout

We can present DocRef however you like to reflect existing websites.

New Zealand Secondary Legislation

DocRef is perfect for publishing secondary legislation. We'll convert documents for you, enable custom publishing, and share early access to our simple drafting system.

Agencies meeting the Secondary Legislation Access Standards can use DocRef to publish new and old versions side-by-side, surface documents through semantic search, use bullet-level linking to integrate versions, signal status through structured metadata, and comply with accessibility standards.

With documents as structured data, requirements for publication and presentation become much easier to monitor.

If you're planning your secondary legislation pipeline, take a look at these documents below and reach out for an initial discussion:

Publish law and regulatory documents

Publish all of your regulatory documents, guidance and discussion papers on DocRef. Syncopate can convert documents for you, publish final documents, or provide early access to our simple drafting system.

Enable users to download documents in whatever format they like. Make your life easier for document management, updates and versioning.

Taking feedback and commentary on documents is simple with bullet-level links and commenting tools.

Public consultation, structured data submissions

Your time is wasted copy-pasting information from public submissions into word docs and spreadsheets.

Use DocRef for public consultation to let people use bullet-level links in their submissions, comment directly on document elements, then submit their comments as a single structured dataset for comprehensive analysis.

Get better feedback by publishing documents with pre-existing tags and annotations, helping people understand your documents. Then, use public submission datasets to publish responses in dynamic and interesting ways.

Share updated drafts and final versions side-by-side with previous versions, showing block-by-block changes with supporting commentary.

Rules as code and digital legal systems

If you're developing digital systems for implementing law and regulation, we should talk.

We've been sharing our thinking on rules as code for a long time. Syncopate founders are recognised pioneers and influencers in the subject.

We can bring years of direct experience and hard-earned credibility to your project, converting law and regulation into digital systems in a long-term and sustainable way.

AI and document analysis

If you're thinking about retrieval augmented generation, graph-based displays, or semantic search, we should talk.

DocRef lets you work with documents as structured data, rather than messy blobs of text. This means better, more transparent results for people and AI systems navigating those documents.

The outcome is higher quality, faster adoption, more rigorous evaluation, and enduring digital transformation.

Document drafting and conversion

The only thing better than publishing documents on DocRef is designing them for digital implementation from the start.

Design your regulatory documents for direct integration into digital systems, especially where they require people to collect and report digital data.

Syncopate can help you design and draft documents, publish them on DocRef, and explore rules as code implementations. We won't lock your data into proprietary systems. Any DocRef document can be readily exported in multiple formats for other platforms. If you really want to innovate, let's talk about parallel drafting.
