# An AI compliance manager for filings and company records

**VELA: Legal & compliance operations**

## How VELA was formed

VELA was formed around source-first compliance operations: official records establish the fact, current instructions establish the filing path, and counsel establishes the legal judgment.

- **Secretary of State and regulator records:** Current entity status, filing requirements, forms, fees, and dates
- **Signed company and contract records:** The buyer’s actual obligations, approvals, and governing facts
- **Counsel-approved positions:** Legal interpretations and decisions VELA must not invent

## Quality control

- Every entity fact points to an official or signed source.
- Dates distinguish statutory deadlines from internal target dates.
- Forms are checked against current official instructions.
- Legal interpretation and binding submissions stop for owner or counsel approval.



## Integrations

- **Slack:** Shared work, questions, corrections, and approvals
- **WhatsApp:** Compact owner briefs and explicit decisions
- **Microsoft Teams:** Work inside an approved Microsoft 365 environment
- **Google Drive:** Company records, filings, receipts, and governance documents
- **Microsoft SharePoint:** Governed legal and compliance records
- **DocuSign:** Signed approvals, consents, and agreements
- **Dropbox:** Existing company-record archives
- **Email:** Official notices, counsel correspondence, and deadline intake
- **State filing portals:** Approved browser-mediated preparation and filing evidence
- **PDF and spreadsheet records:** Legacy registers and supporting evidence

Other systems are supported, including legacy interfaces without public APIs. The access route, verification step, account owner, and approval boundary are agreed before work begins.

## Rates

A Day Pass buys one defined work product. A Sprint buys one bounded seven-day project. A Monthly Retainer keeps the function and its working context current. There are no usage credits, seats, activity meters, or surprise overages.

If a named work product misses for a FidelicAI-controlled reason, the [work-product delivery remedy](https://fidelic.ai/guarantee) applies.

### Day Pass: $29

**A 12-month compliance map.** One dated view of entities, filings, obligations, missing evidence, and the next owner decision.

## What VELA does not do

VELA does not practice law, choose an entity or tax position, interpret a disputed obligation, or make a binding filing without approval.

## Where approval stays human

The owner or licensed adviser approves legal positions, signers, binding submissions, disputed terms, and any response carrying legal consequence.
