Trust
deserves proof

We chose a name that commits us to a way of working, without claiming that any technical system can be entirely free of errors.

An artificial intelligence can produce inaccurate results, an application can behave unexpectedly and an infrastructure can depend on outside suppliers; acknowledging these limits is an essential condition for understanding them and managing them better.

At FIABLE., we approach reliability as a discipline that runs through the entire development process, from architecture choices to functional checks, including the quality of integrations, data protection, accessibility and maintainability.

Each project has its own constraints and its own risks, which means defining requirements suited to real uses rather than applying the same solutions indiscriminately.

Trust does not rest on an appearance of perfection, but on the ability to explain the choices made, to evaluate the results and to acknowledge what still deserves to be improved.

Deliberate
technology choices

We pay particular attention to privacy, data protection, the location of infrastructure and the conditions under which digital services can be maintained or migrated.

Our French roots do not mean that all the tools or suppliers we rely on are necessarily French; we prefer to make these dependencies explicit, explain the choices behind them and keep, whenever possible, the ability to change them.

Depending on the needs of each project, we examine the available solutions, their hosting conditions, their technical constraints and their implications for data, in order to build architectures that are suitable and manageable enough to support future developments.

High standards live
in the details

A feature that responds correctly, data that is properly handled, an interface that remains usable, an anticipated error behavior or an architecture that can evolve are all elements that contribute to the quality of a product.

They are sometimes invisible to the user, but their importance becomes clear precisely when the system is put to the test.

Compliance begins
with the design

A digital product must also take into account the legal and regulatory framework in which it will be used; data protection, privacy, accessibility requirements or the obligations specific to certain features should not be discovered at the last minute.

At FIABLE., we seek to identify the applicable requirements early enough to build them into design and development decisions, especially when projects are intended for the French or European market.

This approach may concern the GDPR, the rules on cookies and other trackers, digital accessibility requirements or the provisions applicable to artificial intelligence systems, depending on the nature of the product and the obligations actually involved.

For projects intended for other territories, local regulatory specifics must be examined with the relevant professionals, without assuming that European rules can be transposed automatically.

Our role is to take the identified requirements into account in the technical work, in collaboration with the people in charge of the project and, when necessary, with suitable legal expertise.

Reliability is not a final touch,
it is a way of building

The FIABLE. website is itself a testing ground for these principles; we have chosen to make certain aspects of how it works visible, to document its dependencies and to measure concrete characteristics, so that our approach can be examined beyond stated intentions.

Where this site lives

A website relies on several services, whose roles and locations are not necessarily the same.

We have chosen to document these dependencies, distinguishing as far as possible the country in which a service is hosted, the one in which its provider is established and the functions it actually performs.

This transparency makes it easier to understand the site's current architecture, as well as the choices and changes planned to gradually strengthen control over its infrastructure.

Five providers are established outside the European Union: Railway hosts the site in Amsterdam until it moves to Clever Cloud, in France; Titan hosts the bonjour@fi-able.fr mailbox, where messages from the form arrive; GitHub keeps the code; WordPress.com manages the domain name, whose transfer to a French registrar is under consideration; Cloudflare answers the DNS queries that give the site's address, without the pages passing through its servers.

No script, typeface or image comes from any site other than fi-able.fr.

Your data

We have chosen not to include tracking cookies, advertising trackers or audience measurement tools on the FIABLE. website.

When you use the “Write to the lab” form, the information you send is used to deliver your request to us; it is routed through the email services used by the laboratory and, as the site currently works, it is not stored in any application database of the site.

As with any online service, certain technical data may also be processed by the infrastructure required for it to work.

We detail the purposes of processing, the providers involved and other useful information in our privacy policy.

What this page weighs

We pay particular attention to the weight of pages, the amount of resources needed to display them and the simplicity of how they work.

Our goal is to keep the first display under a budget of 500 KB, favoring the resources that are needed and avoiding superfluous dependencies. The site's animations fit in two scripts written for it, without any external library.

Accessibility

We want the content of FIABLE. to remain accessible to as many people as possible, whatever the devices, browsing habits or particular needs of visitors.

The site is designed with the principles of digital accessibility and the French RGAA standard in mind; in particular, it provides keyboard navigation, respects preferences for reduced motion and makes its content available without systematically depending on JavaScript.

With your device's “reduce motion” setting, every scene is displayed at rest; without JavaScript, the content remains fully readable and the form can still be sent.

These measures are part of our approach, without in themselves constituting a certification of compliance with the entire standard.

Updates

This page describes the site as we verified it on ; if its providers or characteristics change, it will be updated accordingly.
