Our approach
Provenance-first, reproducible, EU AI Act-aligned
Three principles that hold across every engagement — whether we build a packaged product, a bespoke pipeline, or an AI Act readiness audit. The principles are the product.
Principle 01
Source-grade data only
Every document we ship is traceable to an authoritative public source — regulators, central banks, treasury bodies, securities authorities, national gazettes, official scientific repositories. No scraped marketing copy, no forum text, no machine-translated dilution. Each row carries the source URL, the upstream identifier and the licence terms.
Principle 02
Reproducible by design
Every release is versioned, deterministic and re-buildable. Random seeds are pinned, transformations are content-preserving, dependencies are recorded. If you need to prove to an auditor that a snapshot was built from the inputs you signed off on, the artefact and its dataset card are sufficient evidence.
Principle 03
EU AI Act-aligned by design
Data governance, human oversight, accuracy and transparency are not features we add at the end — they are baked into the pipeline. Per-document provenance maps cleanly onto the AI Act’s expectations for general-purpose model training data, so your model card and your dataset card speak the same language.
What an engagement looks like
Five steps from the first call to the signed release. Same for products, custom builds and audits.
- Discovery — we map your use case, your governance constraints and your downstream model needs. Free 30-minute call.
- Source mapping — we identify the public sources that match the scope and document their licences upfront.
- Pipeline build — extraction, quality scoring, deduplication, packaging. You see prototype output before scale runs.
- QA & gate — explicit go/no-go before any expensive computation. Sample is reviewed, metrics are agreed.
- Release & handover — signed dataset, dataset card, licence chain, audit trail. Refresh schedule begins.
Trust signals we hold to
EU-hosted
Compute and storage in the European Union. No third-country exposure of raw or intermediate data.
Customer IP
For custom engagements, you own the dataset and the pipeline. We do not aggregate or resell.
No surprises
Fixed-price scoping. Phased delivery. Explicit gates before scale. Same approach as a software engineering project.
