PESTIALE is the first environmental scanning framework designed specifically for the age of AI. It extends the lineage from Francis Aguilar's 1967 ETPS through Elliott Jaques's PESTI, adding Algorithmic/AI Governance and Ethics as structurally distinct dimensions. Every analysis applies the Mick Ashby Ethical Regulator Theorem — nine requisites necessary and sufficient for a cybernetic regulator to be both effective and ethical.
Regulatory analysis is jurisdiction-aware — it draws on the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks for the country or region identified in your issue, whether US federal agencies, EU directives, UK statutory bodies, or other national and international frameworks.
