Ethics

The questions we ask before we write code.

Ethics is not a department.
It is a discipline — embedded in every decision, every line, every loop.

At Taaffeite AG, we do not treat ethics as an afterthought.
We treat it as architecture.

Questions we ask before we build

• — Who does this empower?
• — Who does this exclude?
• — What does this remember?
• — What does this erase?
• — What happens if it scales?
• — What happens if it fails?

If we can’t answer these, we don’t ship.

What we believe

That neutrality is a myth.
That every system encodes a stance.
That silence is sometimes the most ethical response.

We do not build for everyone.
We build for those who ask before they automate.

How we hold ourselves accountable

Through internal review protocols.
Through external audits where appropriate.
Through public documentation of our principles — and our boundaries.

Ethics is not a shield.
It is a mirror.

A note to the future

If you inherit our systems, you inherit our questions.
May you ask better ones.
