Methodology

How Helimux knows what applies.

Every compliance conclusion in Helimux traces back to a versioned rule and the official source behind it. This page explains where rules come from, how they change and where AI fits in.

Sources

Authoritative sources first.
In a fixed order.

Rules are built from the most authoritative source available. When a higher source exists, a lower one is never used in its place.

  1. 01

    Government or regulator

    The authority that administers the requirement, such as a company registry or tax office.

  2. 02

    Official publication

    The statute or regulation as officially published.

  3. 03

    Official guidance

    Guidance issued by the government body itself.

  4. 04

    Recognised professional body

    Professional or regulatory bodies with standing in that jurisdiction.

  5. 05

    High-quality secondary source

    Reputable legal commentary, used when primary sources are silent or unclear.

  6. 06

    Anything else

    Used only when necessary, and always labelled as such.

Rules

Every rule is explicit.
And carries its citation.

Rules are grouped into jurisdiction packs, one for each country or state. Each rule records the same structure, so any conclusion can be checked against its source.

Rule

Confirmation statement

Companies Act 2006, s.853A

JurisdictionUnited Kingdom
AuthorityCompanies House
Applies toEvery registered company
Deadline14 days after the review period
Sourcelegislation.gov.uk

Scope

The jurisdiction, the authority and the entity types the rule covers.

Applicability

The explicit conditions an entity must meet for the rule to apply.

Requirement

What must be done, and the deadline logic that sets the due date.

Provenance

The source, its URL or reference, a pointer to the relevant section, when it was retrieved, the effective dates and the rule version.

Example rule shown for illustration. Always check the current official text.

Change

Versioned, never overwritten.
History stays intact.

When the law changes, a new version of the rule is added with its own effective dates. Historical versions are kept, and a rule that has already been used in completed work is never silently rewritten. Rules can be marked as under review, and are shown that way until the review is done.

Example version history
  1. v1

    1 Jan 2024 – 31 Dec 2025

    Superseded

    Kept, because completed work was based on it.

  2. v2

    From 1 Jan 2026

    Current

    Used for obligations in periods from its effective date.

  3. v3

    Proposed

    Under review

    Shown as under review, never presented as current.

Evaluation and AI

Deterministic where it counts.
AI where it helps.

Whether a rule applies is decided by evaluating its conditions against your entity’s facts, not by a language model.

What AI does

Company Brain explains rules, summarises documents, extracts facts with a pointer to where they came from, drafts documents and proposes tasks. Its answers cite their sources and are marked apart from established facts.

What AI never does

It never invents a rule, a deadline or a government confirmation, and never marks a consequential action complete without the required approval and evidence.
Coverage and limits

One jurisdiction at a time.
Software, not legal advice.

New jurisdiction packs are added based on what customers need and on the quality of the official sources available. See how this shows up in the product on the compliance page.

Helimux is operational software, not a law firm, and does not give legal advice. When a question needs professional judgement, Helimux helps you bring counsel in with the full context.
