Who operates this site, and on what terms
This page sets out the operator, who holds editorial responsibility, how artificial intelligence is used in producing the research pages, what the marks and licences are, and what happens to data you leave here. If anything below is unclear or looks wrong, the contact address is at the foot of the page.

EQUORA Institute is the research identity operated by i-Tango Tanácsadó Kft. The Institute conducts computational and strategic research; it operates no wet laboratory, provides no clinical, legal or financial services, and is not an accredited educational institution.
Editorial responsibility
Pölö (László Papp), founder of the EQUORA Institute, holds editorial responsibility for everything published on this site. ORCID: 0009-0005-6329-5808.
Every decision to publish a page, and every judgment about whether the evidence behind a claim is sufficient, is made by a named person rather than by a system. This is the governance layer of the EQUORA Trilith Method™, and it is deliberately not delegated.
How artificial intelligence is used here
The research pages on this site are produced with substantial machine assistance. AI takes part in literature discovery and synthesis, candidate identification, computational modelling, and the first drafts of the pages themselves. Every research page states this in its Trilith Method™ Research Card, which sets out the machine contribution, the verification applied to it, and the human who is answerable for the result.
Claims are traced to primary sources rather than to summaries of them, and contested claims are run across independent model families before publication. Where an error is found after publication, the correction is recorded on the page with its date instead of being quietly removed.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), Article 50(4). From 2 August 2026, a deployer publishing AI-generated or manipulated text with the purpose of informing the public on matters of public interest must disclose that the text has been artificially generated or manipulated. That obligation does not apply where the content has undergone a process of human review or editorial control and a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility for its publication.
Both conditions of that exception are met here: the content is reviewed and edited by a person, and editorial responsibility is held and named above. The disclosure is nevertheless made on every research page, because a reader is better served by knowing how a page was produced than by an argument about whether we were required to say so.
Two other parts of Article 50 do not apply to this site, and it is worth stating why rather than leaving it ambiguous. The site operates no AI system that interacts with visitors — there is no chatbot, assistant or agent here — so the notification duty in Article 50(1) is not engaged. The Institute is not a provider of a generative AI system and places no such system on the market, so the machine-readable marking duty in Article 50(2) falls on the providers of the tools used rather than on the Institute.
Where a page carries a generated image or figure, that is stated at the point of use.
What the research pages are
The pages under Research are research plans and working documents rather than results. They state what a programme intends to test, on what basis, and what would count as failure. They are not peer reviewed unless a specific publication is cited as such, and parts of them will turn out to be wrong.
Nothing on this site constitutes professional advice. This matters most for the Computational Genomics programme, which discusses gene editing strategies, named compounds and drug protocols in a rare disease context: that page is not medical advice, describes no available treatment, and should not be used to start, stop or change any medication. Its own disclaimer sets this out in full, and decisions about treatment belong to a treating clinician.
Trademarks
The names EQUORA Institute™ and EQUORA Trilith Method™ are used as marks of this initiative and are held by i-Tango Tanácsadó Kft. The names EquoraVault, GoHalve, NeverNormal, Living15 and Iterators Society are used as marks of the associated ventures of the same operator.
The ™ symbol indicates a claim to trademark rights and does not by itself assert registration. Where a mark is registered, that is stated on the relevant venture's own pages.
Third-party names, products and marks referenced in the research pages remain the property of their owners and are named for identification and citation only.
Licence and citation
Unless a page states otherwise, the research writing on this site is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) — free to use, copy, adapt and build on, with attribution. Individual documents carry their own licence line, and where one has been assigned, a persistent identifier.
The licence covers text and figures. It does not license trademark or patent rights. Adapting or redistributing a document under CC BY does not carry a right to use the names listed above as marks for your own work, and the two are not in tension: the writing is meant to travel, while the names stay with the operator.
Third-party data, figures and quotations remain the property of their sources, and each page names them at the point of use. Where a document has no persistent identifier yet, it should be cited by its title and version rather than by URL alone, since the URL may change.
Data
This site runs without advertising and without tracking cookies. It sets no cookies of its own and builds no visitor profiles.
Visitor statistics. Since July 2026 the site uses Plausible Analytics, a cookieless analytics service, to count page views and referrers in aggregate. It stores no cookie, assigns no persistent identifier, and builds no cross-site or cross-visit profile; no individual visitor can be identified from it. Because it sets nothing on your device, no consent banner is required for it.
Two further things are worth naming, because they involve third parties receiving your IP address:
- Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser requests them from Google's servers, which means Google receives your IP address and basic request data when a page loads.
- One illustrative photograph on the home page is served from Unsplash, with the same consequence for that request.
If you would rather avoid this, a content blocker or a browser configured to block third-party requests will prevent both; the pages remain readable, with fallback system typefaces.
Email. If you write to one of the addresses on this site, we hold the message and your address for as long as needed to deal with the matter and to keep a record of research correspondence. It is not used for marketing, and it is not passed to third parties. You can ask at any time what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by writing to info@equora.institute.
The site is hosted by a third-party provider that processes standard server logs on the operator's behalf. Under the GDPR the data controller is i-Tango Tanácsadó Kft., at the address given above; the Hungarian supervisory authority is the Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság (NAIH).
Corrections
If something on this site is wrong, write to research@equora.institute. Substantive corrections are made on the page itself, dated, naming what the earlier version said. Recording the errors is part of the method rather than an embarrassment to be tidied away.
