RELL Domain Skill

What RELL Is

RELL — Regulatory Enforcement & Governance Layer with Live-monitoring

RELL is a compliance and data governance product line built on Aurelion architecture. It is not an Aurelion module — it is a separate, standalone product that derives architectural patterns from Aurelion.

Location: rell-eco/ — sibling project in your Personal Projects folder

"You have a compliance officer who sleeps. Rell doesn't."

Architecture Philosophy

Lean core. Value in the profiles.

The RELL engine (rell-engine) is domain-agnostic. It doesn't care about GDPR or HIPAA. You bring the compliance profile. The engine runs the checks.

rell-engine     ← The open core (MIT). Anyone can run this.
rell-profiles   ← The curated ruleset registry (BSL). This is the product.
rell-gov        ← Commercial: GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001
rell-health     ← Healthcare: HIPAA, HL7, FHIR
rell-econ       ← Economic: IMF, World Bank, sovereign indicators
rell-infra      ← Infrastructure: NERC CIP, CMMC, ICS compliance
rell-esg        ← ESG: GRI, TCFD, SEC climate disclosure

Active Components (as of March 2026)

rell-engine (Phase 1 — In Progress)

The portable audit core. Extracted from AURELION Nexus Premium. All AURELION-specific references (Stonecrest, Memoria, D&D world engine) are being removed.

Capabilities:

• Flat file ingestion and anomaly detection
• Workload tracker scoring and load analysis
• SQL schema ingestion, versioning, and drift detection
• Live database auditing (read-only, credential-validated)
• Audit cycle management with persistent finding memory
• Structured report generation (Markdown + JSON)

Run the engine:

cd rell-eco
python run_audit.py --scan-file path/to/data.txt
python run_web.py   # Web interface

Key files:

• rell-engine/engine/audit_engine.py — Core audit loop
• rell-engine/engine/audit_agent.py — Agent orchestration
• rell-engine/engine/workload_engine.py — Workload tracker
• rell-engine/engine/llm_integration.py — LLM interface
• rell-engine/web/api.py — REST API

rell-workload (Standalone deployment)

The workload tracker has been productized as a standalone module with its own Dockerfile, Fly.io deployment config, and user-facing web UI.

Location: rell-eco/rell-workload/ Entry: JOSEFINA_START_HERE.bat — named for a specific user (Josefina) who is the primary operator

Active Profiles

• governance/ccpa-ca.json — California Consumer Privacy Act
• governance/gdpr-eu.json — EU General Data Protection Regulation

Audit Data

• Cycles: rell-engine/data/audit/memory/cycle_logs/
• Reports: rell-engine/data/audit/memory/reports/
• Findings: rell-engine/data/audit/memory/finding_logs/
• State: rell-engine/data/audit/state/audit_state.json

Development Phases

Phase	Target	Status
1	rell-engine standalone, installable	In Progress
2	rell-profiles with GDPR-EU as first profile	Planned
3	rell-gov — GDPR/CCPA commercial instance	Planned
4	rell-health — HIPAA, HL7, FHIR	Planned
5+	rell-econ, rell-infra, rell-esg	Roadmap

Phase 1 exit criteria: Someone with zero Aurelion context can clone rell-engine, install it, drop a flat file in the intake folder, and get an audit report.

License Structure

Component	License	Rationale
rell-engine	MIT	Open core drives adoption and trust
rell-profiles	BSL	Curated, conflict-resolved rulesets
Domain instances	BSL	Bundled for specific markets

How RELL Relates to Aurelion

RELL extracted its audit engine from Aurelion Nexus Premium. Now they are separate:

• Aurelion = cognitive framework (memory, reasoning, planning, collaboration)
• RELL = compliance product (watch data, report violations)

They share design philosophy, not code. Same architect, different buyers.
