Our method

How Signato is made

Signato has no founder photo and no personal byline. That is on purpose. In compliance, what should earn your trust is not a face. It is the method: where the facts come from, who checked them, and when. This page is that method, in plain terms.

1. Every claim is traced to the primary source

When we say an obligation exists, we point to the article, annex, or recital that creates it, in Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act) or the named local rule. We read the source text itself, not a summary of it. If a number, a date, or a duty cannot be tied to a primary source, it does not go in. Where something is genuinely unsettled, we say so rather than guess.

2. A person checks it before it goes out

Drafting is fast; verification is not, and that is where the time goes. Before any edition, kit, or page is published, a person reviews each regulatory claim against its source. Nothing ships on automation alone. This human review is the part that machine-generated content cannot replace, and it is the reason you can rely on what you read here.

3. The work is dated, so you can see when it was last verified

Regulation moves. The AI Act timeline has already shifted once. Every edition carries the date it was checked, and when a position changes we tell you it changed rather than quietly editing the past. "Verified at source on [date]" means exactly that: someone confirmed it against the regulation on that day. If a rule moves after we publish, the next edition says so.

4. We tell you what to do, not just what the law says

Every piece ends in a concrete next step: the document to write, the question to ask a vendor, the person to put in charge. We translate dense regulation into actions a mid-market HR or legal team can take this week, with the evidence kept on the record.

5. What we are not

Signato publishes practical AI governance intelligence and makes one product: the Signato chamber, local confidentiality software. We are not a law firm, we do not certify compliance, and nothing we publish is legal advice or creates a lawyer-client relationship. We point clearly to where a qualified lawyer is needed. And when our reading connects to our own product, we label that connection openly, a marked trial link, never sales dressed up as neutral analysis.

6. What is still open

Honesty about uncertainty is part of the method, not a disclaimer bolted on. When a deadline is provisional, an implementing act is pending, or guidance has not yet been published, we mark it as such and keep watching the source. You will always know the difference between what is settled and what is still moving.
