Many organizations in law enforcement have explicit programs to do exactly that. Here is one from the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/determination-opinion-and-advisory-letter-for-retirement-plans-scope-and-benefit-of-a-favorable-determination-opinion-or-advisory-letter https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/determination-opinion-a... Basically, the rules for whether a retirement plan meets the qualifications for favorable tax treatment are highly complex, so a plan sponsor can ask the IRS to determine if the structure of the plan fits the rules by asking for a "Favorable Determination Letter". This seems to me highly analogous to what crypto exchanges wanted from the SEC.
