Delivered while the office was still dark
Most compliance teams are drowning in regulatory noise.
Someone monitors the FCA, PRA, and a dozen industry feeds for hours each week, and still gets blindsided by enforcement actions that matter.
Regulatory updates get forwarded in Slack and email chains, and no one knows which ones require action until it's too late.
The quarterly compliance review becomes a scramble, because no one's been tracking changes through the quarter.
The information you need exists.
The signal-to-noise is broken.

Regulatory · FCA press release
FCA issues final rules on crypto asset promotions for retail investors
New financial promotion rules apply to all UK-facing crypto platforms from 8 October. Non-compliant firms face marketing bans and referral restrictions.

Phased capital requirement changes begin January 2027, with the output floor rising to 72.5% by 2030.

Proof & credibility
Real engineering. Real customer. Real team behind it.
Hi, I’m Stephen. I run Granite Marketing, an AI engineering studio. Over the last 6 months we built a vertical news intelligence system for a UK clean energy company (private at their request, but you’d recognise the name). It’s been quietly running their team’s daily sustainability monitoring, replacing about 8 hours of manual scanning per week.
Sightline is that system, productised — built for UK sustainability teams who need the same edge.
Every Sightline customer talks directly to me. I onboard you personally. I respond to feedback within 24 hours. I’m not VC-backed and I’m not pretending to be a 50-person company. What I am is a single engineer with a working system and a few months of customer feedback ahead of every alternative.
- Replaces ~8 hrs/wk of manual scanning
- Running live at a UK clean energy company
- Onboarded personally
- Feedback answered in 24h
FAQ
Common questions
Bloomberg Terminal is a £24k/year platform built for traders and analysts reading raw filings and market data — not curated intelligence tuned to a compliance function. Generic RegTech and compliance monitoring tools are checklist-driven: they flag whether a rule applies, not why it matters to your specific business. Sightline is purpose-built for the intelligence problem — what to read, when, and why it matters to your specific business.
Generic news doesn't know your business. Sightline's classifier is calibrated on YOUR sources, YOUR competitors, YOUR regulators, and YOUR taste (via the eval step). The difference shows up by month 2 — you stop unsubscribing from the digest.
Yes — your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, on EU-hosted infrastructure. You own your data and can export or delete it at any time. We don't use it to train shared models. Full GDPR + ICO compliant.
Workspace stays for 30 days as read-only (in case you change your mind), then permanently deleted. No data hostage, no clawback emails.
Self-serve sign-up isn’t live yet — but you don’t need a sales call to see what Sightline produces. Email Stephen with the subject “sample briefs” and we’ll send you a sample feed plus example weekly, monthly, and quarterly briefs, so you can see the shape of what would land in your inbox. Every early customer still gets a hands-on onboarding when they’re ready — a 20-min walkthrough with Stephen, or a recorded demo once those are up. The goal isn’t to gatekeep, it’s to make sure the eval is tuned to your business before the digests start.
Stephen Anindo, founder of Granite Marketing. Solo founder, UK-based, building production AI/automation systems for clients for several years. Sightline is my first product company.
Next quarter: a live dashboard for browsing historical briefs, automated monthly recalibration of your eval, and native Slack + Teams apps. Later this year: digest engagement analytics, white-label branded emails, and multi-recipient permission tiers (admin / curator / viewer). North Star is to be what Bloomberg Terminal is to finance, but for financial services compliance — the canonical morning read for compliance leaders.
