May 2025 at Ultimarii: Purpose-Built Tools for Real Regulatory Work

At Ultimarii, we’re driven by a deep understanding of the work our users do. That’s why this month we’re delivering powerful new ways to search and act on regulatory data, alongside updates to the regulatory guidance that matter most to your projects.

What’s New at Ultimarii?

Playbooks are live 

Playbooks are now available out of the box in every environment, enabling agentic workflows that automate repetitive tasks and guide your team through complex decisions. Whether you’re triaging new applications or tracking incoming amendments, Playbooks are designed to reduce manual effort and increase consistency.

But the real power comes in customization. If you’re ready to design Playbooks around your internal processes, reach out to us directly. Our in-house data scientists are available to help you build workflows tailored to your team’s needs.

Solving the needle-in-a-haystack problem

We’ve sourced the project history of over 20 regulators across Canada—more than half a million documents dating back a decade. With this scale comes a new challenge: how do you find one specific detail?

This month, we launched hybrid search, which combines the strengths of large language models with precision filtering. Now you can pinpoint exact data points like:

• Project or application numbers

• Locations

• Dates and date ranges

Hybrid search works hand-in-hand with natural language search to surface both broad context and granular facts - all in one query.

Coming this week: Regulatory Supersearch

Regulatory Supersearch lets you query across all of Ultimarii’s public regulatory collections in a single interface. Use the new refined source selector to target the right regulator, document type, or jurisdiction, and get answers faster.

We’re committed to building tools that work the way you do - because regulatory work isn’t generic, and your software shouldn’t be either.

Notable Regulatory Updates

This month brought a number of important regulatory rule changes across Canada:

• AER: New versions of Directive 060 and Directive 076

• BC EAO: Released a new Fees Guideline

• BCER: Updated the Oil and Gas Activity Application Manual and released a new version of the Environmental Offsite Mitigations Guidance

• OEB: Published a new Practice Direction on Cost Awards

• NRCB: Updated the Board Review Process Guide

• SK Energy and Resources: Introduced new incident reporting requirements

All of these updates are now available in your Ultimarii Library.
