How the Atlas is written

Every entry in the Supply Chain Due Diligence Atlas follows the same four-step process, applied without exception.

Every entry follows the same four-step process, applied without exception. We publish it here because regulatory content you have to take on trust isn't good enough - and because the alternative, in this market, is usually silence.


Official sources only

Every entry starts from the official text and nothing else - the regulation itself, its consolidated version, and the primary source it comes from: EUR-Lex, national gazettes, or the relevant regulator. We do not draft from summaries, press coverage, or someone else's analysis of the text.

Drafted by a dedicated agent

A dedicated agent drafts and formats each entry. It cites the exact passage of the official text behind every statement, flags what it isn't certain about, and - once an entry already exists - proposes only what has changed since the last review, not a rewrite. The agent drafts. It does not publish, and it does not decide what a regulation means.

💡
Why an agent at all? Because the bottleneck in keeping 60+ regulations current isn't finding the information — it's checking it, line by line, against the source. An agent lets one reviewer cover the whole corpus every month instead of a handful of entries a week.

Checked by a named human, before anything goes live

Before publication, a named person checks each entry against the source. 

The official text is the authority - we link to it directly. The name is the accountability.

Perrine Delobelle, CMO, Tilkal — oversees the review process.

The whole corpus, reviewed every month

The Atlas is re-reviewed on a fixed day each month - not on a rolling, unpredictable schedule. The agent prepares what has changed in the official texts since the last pass, entry by entry; review focuses on what moved, and everything else is re-dated as still current.


This is a strategic overview, not legal advice. Some legislation featured here is still moving through the legislative process, and dates or scope can change before it is finalized.
