About Policy Compass

Policy Compass is built by Meet George - a company focused on building AI-powered tools for UK energy professionals. We started with the people who actually have to track, interpret, and act on regulatory change every day.

Energy consultancies, suppliers, flexibility providers, and network operators. If you spend hours trawling Ofgem and DESNZ websites for answers, this is for you.

Origin Story

Why We Built Policy Compass

We didn't start out building regulatory intelligence. We stumbled into the problem.

The Insight

While building energy technology at Meet George, we saw first-hand how fragmented and time-consuming regulatory research is. Energy consultancies, suppliers, and network operators were all doing the same thing - manually trawling Ofgem, DESNZ, and code panel websites, reading PDFs, and trying to figure out what affects their business.

The research was repetitive, the sources were scattered, and the answers were never contextualised.

The Opportunity

We realised the same AI technology we were building for energy switching could be applied to regulatory intelligence. Not a generic chatbot - a specialist research tool that knows the energy sector, cites authoritative sources, and understands each user's specific business context.

That's Policy Compass.

The Team

Meet the Founders

An operator who understood the problem + an engineer who could solve it

Joshua Winterton

Co-Founder & CEO

Joshua spent 10 years working closely with businesses on their energy needs - first at THIS Workspace, then deeper into the industry. That's where he saw the pattern: energy professionals across consultancies, suppliers, and networks were spending hours every week on the same regulatory research - and still missing things.

He leads product strategy and energy industry partnerships at Policy Compass, working directly with design partners like Complete Strategy and BFY Group to make sure the platform solves real problems - not just impressive demos.

Xiaoyi Lu

Co-Founder & CTO

Xiaoyi is building the AI research engine behind Policy Compass. With 15 years of full stack engineering experience and an MSc in Computer Science, he's designed a multi-model architecture that orchestrates specialist AI agents for different regulatory domains.

His focus: source-grounded intelligence. Every answer Policy Compass gives must cite authoritative sources - Ofgem decisions, DESNZ consultations, code panel publications. No hallucinations, no generic summaries.

Philosophy: The best AI doesn't replace expert judgement - it removes the hours of manual research that come before it.

Our Approach

How We Think About Regulatory Intelligence

Three principles that shape everything we build.

Source-Grounded

We restrict research to authoritative sources - Ofgem, DESNZ, REC, Elexon, DSOs. Not YouTube, Reddit, or general web training data. Every claim cites its source.

Context-Aware

Generic answers aren't useful. Policy Compass knows your business - licence conditions, customer segments, market exposure - and filters every answer through that context.

Operationally Useful

Not just answers - actionable outputs. Deadline calendars, structured summaries, board-ready briefings. Intelligence you can act on, not just read.
