Legal and regulatory communications remain overwhelmingly text-heavy, despite evidence that visual representations enhance recall and understanding of complex principles.

Research shows visual aids improves outcomes of 98% of students, with 85% achieving statistically significantly improvements.

The Picture Superiority Effect demonstrates why this occurs: pictures are more likely to be encoded both imaginally and verbally, whereas words are typically encoded only verbally, providing pictures with advantages in the retrieval of stored memory.

This dual-coding advantage makes visual content particularly effective for compliance materials that require repeated reference over time.
Reducing Cognitive Load
Legislative text routinely scores as "difficult" to "very difficult" on readability assessments, requiring university-level comprehension skills. Our visual guides reduce this cognitive load by extracting essential requirements and presenting them through rich illustrations with minimal dense text. This approach addresses a practical challenge: the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations grew to 104.6 million words by 2016 — a 195% increase since 1970.
