Where our content comes from, how insights, threads, search, and policy briefs are produced, and what their limits are.
Everything in Acuis.ai starts from information the European Commission publishes about its competition enforcement: its case records for antitrust, merger, and state aid cases, its decisions and the documents attached to them, its press releases and statements, and its records of individual state aid awards granted by member states.
As of 10 October 2026, Acuis.ai covers:
Case records go back decades. We refresh the data periodically, so the newest Commission activity can take some time to appear.
An insight is a short analytical claim about how the Commission approaches enforcement: what it prioritises, how it reasons, and how it runs its procedures. Insights are extracted with AI from Commission press releases and statements, typically a handful per press release.
Every insight comes with:
Example · Policy insight
The Commission used a consumer affordability framing, specifically the risk of higher insurance premiums, to explain why competition concerns in vehicle glass repair matter.
Based on: “Lack of competition on this market could therefore result in higher insurance premiums for all consumers.” (IP/22/4825)
Insights interpret what the Commission says publicly. They are not the Commission's own words, and they are not statements of law.
Threads group insights that are about the same theme, such as a recurring theory of harm, a type of remedy, or a kind of state aid. They are found automatically by grouping insights with similar meaning, separately for antitrust, merger, and state aid. Each thread's title, summary, and key questions are written with AI.
Each thread shows where it sits among related themes on a map, which threads are closest to it, and how its activity is spread over time. Most insights belong to a thread, but not all of them do.
Threads are a way to explore the material, not official Commission categories.
You can search in plain language. Describe a situation, a pattern, or a question, and Acuis.ai looks for content that matches what you mean, not just the words you typed.
Search combines meaning-based matching with exact keyword matching, so specific names, case numbers, and legal terms are still found. The models behind it are adapted to the language of EU competition law.
Decisions can also be searched by keyword across their full text. Results show the passage that matched and the page it's on, with a link to the decision itself.
Policy briefs answer a question you ask. Thread analyses review the Commission's current approach within one thread over a period you choose, optionally guided by a question. Both are produced by a multi-step research proces:
Each brief and analysis shows a log of these steps and a confidence level, so you can see how it was produced and how strong the evidence is. Every citation links back to an insight, and from there to the quote and press release it came from.
