A proposal for a binding duty of evidence and public reason-giving when digital regulators choose among materially different lawful routes affecting rights, legal certainty, investment and scale.

What the report examines
A proposal for a binding duty of evidence and public reason-giving when digital regulators choose among materially different lawful routes affecting rights, legal certainty, investment and scale.
- A binding secondary meta-duty that applies within the lawful choice set rather than weakening the rights floor.
- Supervisory impact statements, public evidence registers and cross-regulatory compatibility notes.
- A requirement that consequential regulatory choices become evidence-based, proportionate, innovation-aware and publicly reasoned.
From legal boundary to operational consequence.
The report sits within DigiData’s wider practice of connecting legal interpretation with use cases, institutional incentives, evidence and implementable choices.
