Connecting what drifted apart
The Netherlands has structured almost everything in detail. But law, information management and finance work on separate islands. Zendd connects them — with the law as the starting point.
How we work
Scientifically grounded
We turn legal text into rules a computer can follow, using methods from legal informatics. The rules only change when we change them on purpose.
People check
AI analyses the text; human editors from our partner VHIC confirm every rule. That is how the system is built at its core.
Privacy by design
Share the minimum. Why pass on an exact income if you only need to know whether it is below the threshold?
The citizen is not a courier
If the government already knows something, the system fetches it from the source — instead of asking people to download and upload documents.
Open standards
DMN for decision rules. Common Ground principles for small, replaceable components. No closed formats.
