Bodanean Averholm product

About seven hundred Luxembourg bills see activity in a year — roughly thirteen a week. Here is one of them, quoted in full.

Projet de loi portant modification : 1° de la loi modifiée du 7 mars 1980 sur l’organisation judiciaire ; 2° de la loi modifiée du 12 novembre 2004 relative à la lutte contre le blanchiment et contre le financement du terrorisme.

It amends the money-laundering law. What it changes, and for whom, is somewhere else entirely.

Bodane watches Luxembourg legislation for the people it lands on — mostly fiduciaires — and warns you a bill is moving through your practice while there is still time to act on it.

Bodane is in development. It has no customers yet, and it is looking for one Luxembourg compliance practitioner willing to run it on their own topics and say where it is wrong.

A title is not a description. It is a citation.

Every figure below is counted off the corpus Bodane has already ingested — the whole register of Luxembourg bills and grand-ducal regulations, not a sample of it.

7,750dossiers ingested Every bill and draft grand-ducal regulation the register publishes, together with whatever events it has recorded against each one. The count goes up most weeks; this one was taken in September 2026.
46%titled as amendments Nearly half of all titles are pure citation — portant modification de la loi modifiée du 12 novembre 2004… — naming the law being changed and saying nothing whatever about the change.
196median title characters Half of all titles are longer than this paragraph. The longest in the corpus runs 8,099 characters and repeals a numbered list of instruments going back to 1954.
0subject codes on drafts The register keeps a subject vocabulary, but it does not reach draft legislation. Not one of the 7,750 carries a code — so there is no category to subscribe to, and nothing to filter on but the words in the title.

Search all 7,750 titles for blanchiment and thirty-two bills come back. Thirty-two. The bill at the top of this page is one of them, and only because it happens to cite the 2004 law by name. Everything that reaches your obligations through a law that does not use the word is invisible to a keyword filter — which is most of it.

Working today

Two signals, or one.

You describe a topic — the words your practice turns on, the ministries that own it, the EU directives you have to live with. Bodane sorts every bill in the corpus against it and separates what it is confident about from what it wants you to look at.

Bodane's matches page for a topic called Lutte anti-blanchiment (LBC/FT): four matched bills listed with the reason each matched, then ten bills needing review, each with Relevant and Not relevant buttons.
The matches page as it stands. A seeded account on the real corpus — the user shown is a fixture, not a customer, and the topic is one we wrote to test with. Bill titles are reproduced from Légilux under CC BY 4.0.
Being built now

The answer is in the bill’s own documents.

A Luxembourg bill rarely arrives alone. It usually comes with a statement of reasons, an impact assessment and an article-by-article commentary — documents written precisely to explain what the title does not. They are public, they are attached to the dossier in the register, and nobody in a fiduciaire has time to read thirteen sets of them a week.

Reading those documents, and matching your topics against what a bill actually does rather than what it is called, is what Bodane is for. It is being built now. It is not shipped, and nothing on this page depends on it.

Publication is the end of the story.

These are the events the register actually records against a bill, in its own words. A tool that watches the Journal officiel speaks at the last one. By then the text is fixed, the consultation is closed, and the only thing left to do is comply.

Withdrawals count too. A bill you prepared for can be pulled — retrait — and that is worth knowing as early as anything else. Bodane records it as an event like any other rather than letting the dossier go quiet.

It runs on our infrastructure, or on yours.

Where Bodane runs is a choice you make, not a tier you buy. The product is the same either way, the price is the same either way, and inside your own walls you also decide whether the enrichment step that leaves the EU runs at all.

Where it runs, and what leaves

You evaluate vendors for a living. Here is the list you would otherwise have to extract from us.

Bodane needs one practitioner, on real topics.

Not a demo audience — a design partner. Someone in a Luxembourg fiduciaire who will define their own topics, read what comes back, and tell us plainly where it is wrong. In exchange you shape what this becomes, and you see it first.
