Technical depth on document pipelines, software architecture and verifiable change.
- From existing PDF to PDF/UA: reconstruct instead of retagging When the original source is missing, a PDF still contains text and appearance but very little meaning. This is how we reconstruct reading order, lists, tables and links while proving that…
- One managed environment for ePI: before and after EMA Create, check, approve and track ePI in one specialised control layer — from internal source to automatic verification after EMA publication.

- How do you build privacy-first AI for sensitive data? Sensitive data and AI seem like opposites. Yet AI can run privacy-first, bounded and in production — if you treat it as a system. On the choices I made, with Dreamalizing as a concrete…
- Evidence for AI-generated code: from 'it works' to a signed report AI writes more and more of your code. But can you show it's correct? On the shift from writing to accountability — and the evidence audit I built for it: Quoderat.
- AI Radar: from information overload to verifiable early-warning signals AI developments are moving at high speed: product announcements, regulation, security incidents, investments, policy papers, keynotes and earnings calls. The problem is no longer a lack of…
- PDF/UA-compliant PDFs on your website: why it goes wrong (and how to automate it) Many organizations have hundreds (or thousands) of PDFs on their website that do not comply with PDF/UA (ISO 14289). That may sound like a technical detail, but in practice it directly…
- Reducing Service Desk Load with AI You Can Trust: DSPy + GEPA in Practice How to build a service desk assistant that stays grounded in sources, escalates correctly, and improves measurably with DSPy + GEPA.
- AI in production: not a chatbot, but a controlled delivery chain AI pilots are built fast — but production often fails on reliability, governance, and security. In this article I explain where teams get stuck and how to build AI as a controllable chain.
- PDF/A-1a & PDF/UA: compliant publishing without surprises PDF/A-1a and PDF/UA sound like a simple export setting, but teams usually hit issues with metadata, tagging, fonts, and tables. Here’s how to make it predictable.
- How Word Sometimes Fails Us — And How elk.solutions Fixes It Word is great, until it isn't. Discover how small inconsistencies in documents lead to huge workflow problems, and how we bring order to the chaos.
- When Excel Is No Longer Enough: From Loose Spreadsheets to Integrated Calculation Power Excel is flexible, but what happens when it becomes too complex? Read how a publishing house made the leap from thousands of spreadsheets to one smart, integrated calculation engine.
- From Source to Result: How We Let Software Write Itself Traditional software development is slow and error-prone. Discover how we build 10x faster with InterloX and Model-Driven Development by using a single source of truth.
- Why an integrated solution is often faster than piecemeal fixes Excel chaos, document pain, off-the-shelf tools that don’t fit — it’s usually one pipeline problem. Here’s why combining data, app, documents, and publishing creates speed and stability.
- How Automation Saves 20 Hours a Week: A Case Study From manual copy-pasting to a single button press. How a simple script solved an administrative nightmare.
- Why 'Boring' Technology is the Best Choice for Your Business In a world full of hypes and frameworks, we consciously choose proven stability. Why MySQL and a custom PHP framework save you money.
- The Hidden Costs of SaaS: Why Renting is More Expensive than Buying Software-as-a-Service seems cheap and easy, but monthly costs pile up. Discover why ownership wins in the long run.
- Open Source and Dependency: Who Actually Owns Your Digital Foundation? Building on open source is smart, but blindly trusting dependencies is risky. How we ensure your software remains truly yours.
- Why Custom Software Outperforms the Standard Discover why standard packages hinder your growth and how custom solutions accelerate your unique processes.
