The author demonstrates a method for visualizing regulatory changes using the PlyLoom tool. The analysis focuses on the transition from the old retail sales rules (PP 2463) to the new ones (PP 657), which came into effect on September 1.
The process involves using an LLM to identify changes, supplemented by a Python script to segment the legal text and prevent hallucinations. The author notes that standard diff tools are ineffective for this task due to extensive editorial rephrasing in the new document.
The resulting visualization maps out specific requirements, such as new procedures for handling consumer complaints. The tool highlights missing links and contradictions, leaving the final verification to the user.
The source documents for the analysis are available on the government.ru portal. The author invites feedback on future use cases for this visualization approach.
