Questions about ACE
ACE is the Ad-Wise Compliance Engine: a review system that checks cannabis and regulated marketing assets against the Cannabis Act, Health Canada guidance, PAAB, and provincial rules before they're published, attaching the specific rule citation and a senior human sign-off to each one.
No. ACE catches the common, high-frequency violations fast and documents the rule behind each flag. For high-risk work it speeds up — it does not replace — qualified legal review.
The federal Cannabis Act (ss. 17–24) and Health Canada guidance, PAAB for pharma, and the provincial standards: AGCO (Ontario), LCRB (BC), AGLC (Alberta), and CRA (Quebec, the strictest).
It is built for cannabis first, but the same engine handles other regulated categories such as pharma and health (PAAB), and any market where what you can say is legally constrained.
Most assets are screened in minutes, with a human sign-off layered on top — fast enough to keep a campaign moving instead of stalling it for days.
