Six regulated verticals.

Documentation in regulated industries isn't writing — it's compliance engineering. Domain depth, not generic skill, bridges the named standards.

Documentation in regulated industries is compliance engineering.

Documentation in regulated industries isn't writing — it's compliance engineering. The artifacts produced are tested against named standards by auditors, regulators, attorneys, and ops teams. Stylistic prose is downstream of conformance; the artifact either meets the standard or it doesn't.

What gets shipped is what gets audited. The cost of a miss isn't a stylistic edit; it's a regulatory finding, a delayed approval, a recall, a fine, a claims dispute, a contract default. Documentation engineering is risk engineering through a particular surface — the page, the topic, the data module.
