Teisond is a permanent mechanism for civic judgment – a verified channel for citizens to render trust or distrust toward any official exercising governmental authority, continuously, not just at elections.
For the full technical and legal framework, see the White Paper.
Teisond is civic infrastructure – a permanent, verified mechanism for citizens to render civic judgment on any official exercising governmental authority. You express trust or distrust. Your judgment is aggregated with others into a public legitimacy index. No one knows how you judged. Everyone sees the result.
It is not a poll, a petition, or a voting platform. It is continuous infrastructure that operates between elections – at every level of government, across all 27 EU member states.
Any citizen with a valid government-issued ID document (passport or national ID card) in any of the 27 EU member states. Participation requires identity verification – a one-time document scan and biometric liveness check. This ensures that every judgment comes from a unique, real person.
The integrity of the legitimacy index depends on one person, one account. Without identity verification, coordinated manipulation – bots, duplicate accounts, coordinated campaigns – becomes trivially easy. Verification is what makes the signal meaningful.
Identity verification is a one-time process. After verification, your personal data is irreversibly hashed and discarded. You are not identifiable within the system.
Yes. Registration, identity verification, and rendering civic judgments are entirely free. Paid features exist only for officials and institutions who want enhanced analytics about their own profiles.
Your identity data is processed through one-way cryptographic hashing. The Platform stores only the resulting fingerprint – never your name, ID number, or any personal identifier. Even Platform developers cannot determine who you are. The cryptographic salt rotates periodically, making retroactive identification technically impossible.
Yes. Your current position (trust, distrust, or neutral) toward any official can be updated at any time. To prevent manipulation, changes are rate-limited. Only your current judgment counts – the system does not store a history of your changes.
Your account and personal fingerprint are permanently removed. Your past judgments remain in the aggregated statistics (they contributed to published indices), but they can never be traced back to you – they exist only as part of anonymous aggregate data.
You have the right to access your data, the right to erasure (account deletion), and the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. Because Teisond uses irreversible hashing, personal data is not stored in identifiable form. For data subject requests, contact privacy@teisond.com. Response timelines comply with GDPR requirements (30 days).
Your index reflects the current level of public acceptance of your authority, expressed as a percentage (0–100) with a confidence interval. It is not a performance review, a popularity score, or an election forecast. It tells you how citizens currently perceive your legitimacy in office.
Track your trajectory over time, paying attention to the confidence interval. Read any transparency notes attached to your profile. If you see a sustained decline, treat it as a signal to engage – explain decisions, increase responsiveness, invite scrutiny. Legitimacy is sustained by accountability, not messaging.
Yes. Every official has a Right to Respond: your official statement is published as a transparency note attached to the relevant period. Recalculations happen only under strict conditions – confirmed bugs, material errors, or verified manipulation. Individual citizen data is never disclosed.
No. Public offices are objects of legitimate public interest. Publications are aggregated with privacy thresholds. You retain the Right to Respond and can use subscriber dashboards to understand and address causes of change.
Subscriber access provides detailed analytics beyond the public headline index: trust and distrust counts, consensus metrics, time-series with granular detail, comparative analytics against peers at the same authority level, and anomaly reports. Pricing is fixed by authority level (€1.90–€19.90/month), uniform across all 27 EU countries. The subscription provides analytics – it does not affect your index in any way.
Always cite: Office, Period, Index, Confidence Interval. Example: "Mayor of Riverton, Sep-2026: 63.4 (95% CI 61.9–64.9)." Discuss trajectory rather than single-month snapshots. Never use the index as an election forecast.
Treating the index as an election horse-race. Ignoring the confidence interval. Cherry-picking single months. Inferring motives without evidence. Presenting the index without noting sample size. Requesting demographic breakdowns (which are not provided at any access level).
Yes – aggregates-only. Endpoints expose indices, benchmarks, and alerts with rate-limits and audit trails. Queries below publication thresholds are rejected. No row-level or individual data is available through any access level.
No. To prevent profiling and re-identification, no breakdowns by age, gender, party, or any other demographic dimension are provided. This applies to all access levels, including API subscribers.
Through a Data Access subscription (€49/month). Full access to time-series data, comparative benchmarks, anomaly reports, and aggregated API. One plan, everything included. Early adopters who join the waitlist before launch receive 6 months of free access. See the Data Access page for details.
Citizen data for each country is stored on servers within that country's territory wherever possible. Where national infrastructure does not yet meet the Platform's security, uptime, and compliance requirements, data is stored within the EU in jurisdiction-appropriate infrastructure. In no case does citizen data leave the EU. National deployments are fully isolated – a breach in one country's infrastructure does not compromise others.
AGPT Ltd is the data controller for all national Platforms under GDPR. Cloud infrastructure providers operate as sub-processors under data processing agreements.
Only document-verified citizens with biometric liveness confirmation can participate, making bot attacks structurally impossible. The real threat is coordinated campaigns by real people. Integrity systems detect bursts, temporal clustering, geographic anomalies, and account-age patterns. The Platform favors disclosure over suppression: suspicious patterns are flagged publicly with a transparency note. Detection specifics are not published to prevent gaming.
The aggregated index remains published (subject to thresholds), but we add a visible anomaly flag and a plain-language transparency note explaining what was detected. Silent takedowns are avoided unless legally required.
Only under strict conditions: material error, confirmed bug, or verified manipulation. All revisions follow publication policy – rationale, public notice, and versioned records. Revisions are documented, never hidden.
The Platform is designed to be owned by the citizens who use it – not by its founder, not by investors, and not by any government. This is an architectural commitment documented in the White Paper (Section 9). A two-stage model provides the transfer mechanism: utility governance tokens first, converting to security tokens at a 75% supermajority threshold. The infrastructure being built today is built to be handed over.
Governance tokens are a mechanism for distributing decision-making power over the Platform to the citizens who use it. In Teisond's model, tokens are not financial instruments and carry no monetary value. They represent participation rights – the ability to vote on methodology changes, publication rules, and Platform governance. The token model is designed to activate after the Platform reaches sufficient scale and community maturity. Details are in the White Paper (Section 9).
