How we source, verify and sign off

Our content about the rules is only worth as much as its accuracy. That is why we ground on primary sources, let a human verify every claim against the source - and sign off openly with name, method and source.

1. We ground on primary sources

Every regulatory claim is built on the primary source - not on a blog post or a secondary account. For EU law that is EUR-Lex (the Danish language version), and for Danish law it is retsinformation.dk and Lovtidende. We track bills on the consultation portal (Høringsportalen) and in parliament (Folketinget). If a rule is a draft, we mark it as a draft - not as law in force.

2. A human verifies every claim

AI tools help find sources and draft text, but claims are always signed off by a human. The named editor opens every cited source, confirms that it can be retrieved and supports that exact claim, and dates the review. Detection is assisted; confirmation is always human.

3. We write Danish-canonical

The legal text that carries legal force is the Danish one. That is why our text about the rules is Danish-canonical and cites the Danish language version of the legal act using Danish citation form (§ → stk. → nr. → litra). Where we quote statutory text verbatim, we do so character for character from the primary Danish text with a date and link.

4. We sign off with name, method and source

Every page about the rules carries a named editor. The byline highlightsmethod and source - not a legal title. Our editor is not a lawyer, and we say so. That is deliberate: an honest method byline is more accurate than implied legal expertise.

It also grounds our editorial responsibility under the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), Article 50(4): the duty to disclose AI-generated text published to inform the public on matters of public interest does not apply when the text has undergone human editorial review and a person bears editorial responsibility. A human does that here - by name.

The editorial control lives in the code. An automated check rejects any page about the rules that asserts something regulatory without a date-stamped link to a primary source. It catches the cheap errors before a human spends time - but it never replaces the human review. It cannot decide whether a source actually supports a claim. Only a human can do that.

5. We correct openly

Rules and sources move. When they do, we update the page and note the change with a date in a public list at the bottom of each page. You can see what changed, and when.

What we do not do

We do not give legal advice. Everything we publish is a draft for professional review - a solid, source-backed starting point that an adviser can double-check, not rewrite from scratch. For decisive decisions: contact a qualified adviser.
