Trust methodology

Regulatory intelligence should be inspectable, not just plausible.

Edict IQ starts with official regulatory material and keeps source identity, evidence, analysis and decisions as distinct layers. Public intelligence is published only when its required source and quality checks pass.

  • Official-source first
  • Fail-closed publication
  • Exact evidence spans
  • Version-aware records

The trust chain

Quality is enforced across the whole path, not added as a badge at the end.

Each stage narrows what can become public intelligence. A weak source, stale version, unsupported claim or failed validation is a reason to stop, not a reason to publish with a disclaimer.

01

Official source

Authority-controlled feeds, pages, APIs and documents are the preferred starting point.

02

Source identity

Issuer, URL, document identity, version and retrieval context remain attached.

03

Evidence

Material statements must stay connected to source-backed evidence and citations.

04

Quality gate

Currentness, evidence, output depth and duplicate checks must pass before automatic publication.

05

Views

Public pages and private workflows materialise from the stored, source-backed result.

Official-source first

We optimise for source quality before source volume.

Edict IQ can discover material through several acquisition paths, but discovery is not publication. The public layer is deliberately stricter.

01

Authority before aggregation

Official issuing authorities and official supervisory or government channels are preferred over secondary summaries. Automatically certified public intelligence requires an active primary source controlled by the issuing authority.

02

Identity before interpretation

A regulatory item is tied to its authority, canonical URL, document identity and current version before analytical output is treated as publishable.

03

One item, not five copies

Different discovery paths can point to the same underlying document. Canonical identity and content-level deduplication prevent repeated analysis and duplicate public records.

Publication control

Public intelligence has to earn publication.

For machine-certified public articles, Edict IQ uses a fail-closed gate. Every required condition must pass; otherwise the candidate remains unpublished and cannot silently replace the certified record.

Fail closed means exactly that.

A later candidate that fails certification does not overwrite the already certified public semantic content. Review-required cases are excluded from the automatic publication lane.

Current official source

The source, endpoint and document version must still be active and current.

Structured quality checks

The structured output must complete the required objective quality checks before publication.

Exact source evidence

Material relevance claims must carry evidence spans that occur in the retained source excerpt.

Evidence integrity

Source facts, evidence packs and outputs are fingerprinted and cross-checked so mismatches fail certification.

Bilingual depth

Required English and German fields must meet minimum content thresholds before publication.

Duplicate clearance

A candidate that resolves to already-published content does not create a second public article.

Claim separation

The source, the analysis and your decision are not the same thing.

Edict IQ keeps analytical states distinguishable so a professional can see where the official record ends and judgement begins.

1Fact

Directly supported by an official source.

2Interpretation

A reasoned explanation of what the source means.

3Inference

A plausible consequence that the source does not state directly.

4Recommendation

A proposed next action, not an authoritative instruction.

5User decision

An organisation-specific conclusion retained inside the workspace boundary.

Analyse once

One evidence-backed record can support many useful views.

Edict IQ avoids re-analysing the same regulatory item for every page, language, lens or user. The source-backed analysis is stored once and then used consistently across the surfaces that need it.

This reduces drift between surfaces and keeps public and private outputs anchored to the same source identity and evidence trail.

Automation with boundaries

Automation helps with scale. It does not become the authority.

Automation can

Read, structure and compare

Machine-assisted processing can extract, classify, summarise, localise and organise source-backed material so professionals can work through change faster.

Deterministic controls

Check what must be objectively true

Currentness, source tier, evidence presence, integrity hashes, output completeness and duplicate conditions are checked outside the prose-generating step.

People retain

Judgement and accountability

Organisation-specific applicability, accepted decisions, reviewer conclusions and professional judgement remain human-controlled workflow states.

Analysis depth

Broad coverage is not presented as uniform depth.

Different records can legitimately carry different levels of analytical support. The important distinction is whether a source has merely been captured or has progressed into a deeper workflow-ready assessment.

  2. 02Classified

Versioning & corrections

History is evidence, too.

Source versions, retrieval context, analysis identity and material corrections are designed to remain traceable instead of being flattened into the latest text only.

Public / private boundary

Your organisation context stays in the workspace.

Policies, controls, suppliers, evidence, comments, reviewer assignments and accepted decisions belong to the private organisation boundary, not the public intelligence layer.

Commercial independence

Publication is not a paid-placement decision.

Plans and commercial relationships do not determine source selection, analytical conclusions or the quality threshold required for public publication.

Professional use

Decision support, not substituted judgement.

Edict IQ provides regulatory intelligence and workflow support. It does not replace legal advice, regulatory approval, formal certification or professional accountability.

Verify the product

Trust should be testable from the interface.

Browse public source-backed intelligence, inspect official-source links and then use the workspace when you need persistent context, decisions, monitoring and evidence.
