Compliance
Compliance checklists and process maps
Each checklist ships with a downloadable PDF, a matching editable BPMN process map, and inline guidance written for the analyst doing the work — not the auditor reviewing it.
Primer
What is process mapping?
Process mapping is the discipline of capturing how work actually moves through an organisation — the steps, the decisions, the handoffs between teams, and the systems that touch each piece of work along the way. A process map turns a verbal description (“the analyst reviews the application, then ops checks for KYC flags, then approval routes to the senior underwriter”) into a single artefact that operations, compliance, engineering, and auditors can all read the same way.
Business analysts, process improvement teams, and management consultants spend a meaningful share of their week on process work. They map current state to find waste and audit gaps; they map future state to specify how a new system, regulation, or restructure should run; they map both to document standard operating procedures, train new joiners, and onboard auditors quickly. The output is rarely the diagram itself — it is the conversation the diagram makes possible.
The notation most enterprises standardise on is BPMN — Business Process Model and Notation, an ISO/IEC standard maintained by the Object Management Group. BPMN is the format auditors and regulators ask for because its symbols are unambiguous: an exclusive gateway means exclusive, a message flow crosses a pool boundary, and a sub-process collapses or expands the same way in every tool that implements the spec. Related notations like swimlane diagrams and SIPOC diagrams serve adjacent purposes — assigning responsibility across roles, or framing inputs and outputs at the start of a Six Sigma engagement — but BPMN is the one that survives the audit.
The historic problem with BPMN is speed. A senior analyst dragging shapes around a canvas in legacy tooling can spend three to five days on a single end-to-end process; multiply that by a hundred processes in a typical regulated business and process documentation becomes a programme, not a task. AI changes the economics: a generative model that understands BPMN semantics can turn a paragraph, a meeting transcript, a screenshot of a whiteboard, or a procedure document into a valid BPMN diagram in seconds, ready for the analyst to refine rather than build from scratch. That is the bet behind BA Copilot — keep the auditor- grade notation, keep the human in the loop, and remove the drag-and-drop bottleneck.
Not every process needs the full BPMN treatment. If what you actually want is a quick AI flowchart generator for a one-page overview, or you need to turn a process into a BPMN-to-PDF artefact for an auditor pack, those live alongside the full BPMN editor — same engine, lower ceremony.

From the founder
14 Years in BPMN
I'm Jack Finnegan. I've spent fourteen years working hands-on with BPMN, as an analyst, an engineer, and a product director, where I felt every sharp edge of legacy business process platforms.
BA Copilot is the platform I wanted on every one of these projects: AI-first process management, which treats BPMN as a first-class output rather than an export afterthought.

What people are saying
“Even if you're new to BPMN notation, you can get into the flow of it... quickly”
GDPR-aligned
Your prompts and process maps stay yours. We don't train models on customer data. Read our GDPR posture.
How does the diagram creation process work?
Start by describing your process in chat, uploading a text file, or sharing an existing diagram. Our AI will create a process diagram for you. You can then refine it through chat or use our visual editor to make changes directly.
What file formats do you support?
You can start by typing in chat, uploading a .txt file, or sharing an existing PNG diagram. Your process map can then be downloaded as either a PNG image or BPMN file for use in other tools.
How does pricing work?
Start with a base subscription plan that includes a set number of monthly AI credits. When you need more, purchase top-up credits in bundles. See our pricing page.
