Building all of regulatory compliance under one service.
Plain Dot is building one umbrella service for organizations to manage all their regulatory compliance needs, starting with tax.
Every business runs on regulated rails.
Tax filings, accessibility standards, product testing, privacy disclosures and excise reporting are a patchwork of point tools, agencies and consultants today. None of it speaks the same language.
The next decade brings that patchwork into one service: AI that reads regulatory change, produces the right filing, and puts an expert on the cases that need one. Plain Dot is building that service, one regulated domain at a time.
Tax compliance, consolidated first.
We started where the pain was loudest and the data cleanest. The IRS moved to IRIS, and most filing tools did not move with it. 1099 mismatches still trigger B-notices months after filing. We consolidate all of it, along with TIN checks.
Same model, every regulated domain.
The same model works for any regulatory compliance domain that meets three tests:
- Government or regulatory body mandated, with real penalties for getting it wrong.
- Recurring, with regulatory updates that punish stale software.
- Served today by expensive consultants, brittle tools or both.
ADA compliance and product testing pass that test. We launch each domain in the order customers ask for.
Now · Next · Later · Horizon.
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Now | Two services live: 1099 e-file and TIN checks. End-to-end IRIS A2A filing, corrections, recipient delivery and an audit trail. API · Soon. |
| Next | ACA 1095, Form 2290 and more IRS forms. AI-assisted import that turns contracts and ledger exports into form-ready records. |
| Later | The first non-tax service: product testing, through partnerships with physical labs. Continuous compliance signals across every active domain. |
| Horizon | The default compliance service for small and mid-size businesses, and the rails for everyone else. |
A small team in a regulated category.
Plain Dot is a small team that mixes engineers, regulatory experts and AI builders. We do not subcontract the compliance work, and we do not ship anything we would not run on our own books.
The people who built the pipeline answer the support thread when an IRS acknowledgment comes back wrong.
Built in New York's Capital Region.
Plain Dot is based in the Albany–Schenectady–Troy corridor. The region blends great universities (RPI, Union, UAlbany, Siena), a growing tech community and easy access to the outdoors along the Hudson and the Adirondacks.
