# Fuchsia

> AI-powered compliance research, documentation, and lab matching for hardware teams.

## Overview

Fuchsia is a Y Combinator-backed startup that helps hardware companies get regulatory compliance done in weeks instead of months. Our AI agents handle the end-to-end compliance workflow: researching which regulations apply to your product, drafting the technical documentation testing labs need, and matching you with the right accredited labs.

## The Problem We Solve

Hardware teams waste months untangling which safety standards apply, chasing consultants, and assembling documentation from scratch. FCC, FDA, CE, UL, ISO, FAA, RIA — most teams spend months just figuring out which ones apply. Every week without clearance is a week you're not selling.

## How Fuchsia Works

### 1. Surface Every Requirement That Applies
Fuchsia's research agent analyzes your product against thousands of regulatory codes and tells you exactly what standards you need to meet, with full citations. No gaps. No guesswork.

### 2. Assemble Your Documentation Automatically
Once your requirements are mapped, Fuchsia drafts the technical documentation your testing lab needs in a fraction of the time it would take manually.

### 3. Get Matched With the Right Lab
Fuchsia matches you with labs that specialize in your product category and compliance needs so you can move straight to testing.

### 4. Single Source of Truth
One platform that tracks every requirement, every document, and every status update. No more chasing down your manufacturer's address or losing track of which test reports are current.
