Three systems
SIGIL builds a small number of systems, deeply. Each is designed for a public institution, runs on the institution's own infrastructure, and is described here exactly as it stands today.
RÉCOR is built to the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard (BODS v0.4) and was fully demonstrated to, and acknowledged by, Open Ownership on 1 July 2026.
How we build
One doctrine runs through all three systems: a technical capability is never an authorization, no finding is trusted until it is independently re-verified, and the institution can always read, export, and stop. These are properties you can check, not claims you have to take on trust.
