Run rulemaking from first draft to publication
Draft, review, collaborate, approve, publish, and track. Built for the way government actually works.
When a rule gets challenged, you don't want to be reconstructing what happened from someone's inbox. With Esper, every decision, comment, and approval is already on the record — so the rule holds up.
Structured multi-stage approval workflows
Drafting, review and approval run in one workflow instead of an email chain. Every transition is stamped, attributed and reversible.
Stakeholder review and public comment management
Comments arrive against the section they target and cluster by theme. Staff answer the substance once, and the response is filed with the rule.
Version control with full decision history
Redlines live on the rule, not on an attachment. Every version is kept, so the thinking behind a clause is still here after the staff who wrote it move on.
Automated deadline tracking and escalation
Every task carries an owner and a due date. Reminders go out, overdue items surface, and leadership sees the hold-up while there is still time to act.
Cross-agency collaboration and routing
Program, legal and fiscal can review at the same time rather than one after another. Routing follows your statute, not a vendor's template.
Complete audit trail: audit-ready from day one
Signature, timestamp and draft version are captured together, so a challenge is answered from the record rather than from memory.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is “Regulation & Code Management” as offered by Esper?
Esper’s Regulation & Code Management module is a platform that moves rulemaking and regulatory drafting out of disconnected tools (spreadsheets, emails, shared drives) and into a unified, auditable workflow. It supports collaborative drafting, version control, automated publishing, compliance deadlines, and AI-powered search across your regulations. Esper
Which organizations or agencies is this solution built for?
Esper is primarily targeted at government agencies (state, local, regulatory bodies) that must manage, publish, and enforce rules, codes, or regulations. It helps modernize the regulatory process in a transparent, auditable fashion.
What are the key capabilities or features?
Some of the core features include:
- - Collaborative drafting with versioning and redlines
- - Workflow and approval routing (assign owners, set deadlines, send reminders)
- - Automated publishing in appropriate formats
- - AI-enabled search to quickly find portions of regulations with citation support
- - Task management and visibility into bottlenecks
How does version control / redline tracking work?
Esper maintains all drafts, redlines, and versions within a single system. That ensures every change is tracked, auditable, and tied to the appropriate approval steps, so stakeholders can always see “who changed what when.”
How does the system handle deadlines and compliance schedules?
Every rulemaking task (e.g. drafting, review, public comment, approval) is assigned an owner and due date. The system sends reminders, tracks overdue items, and makes bottlenecks visible so leadership can intervene.
