Background

Why curated phrasings?

Phrasing collections from the internet are often outdated (classic code language), incomplete (only "benevolent" sentences without correction-proof safety) or DE-centric (not aligned with Swiss practice and Art. 330a CO). This library is tailored to the Swiss Kompass standard: every phrasing observable, without code risk, with concrete evidence instead of blanket judgements.

→ Background: what secret codes are and why they become problematic.

Phrasings are only half the battle

In the generator you automatically receive plain-language suggestions — appropriate to position, grade and tonality. Spare yourself the template hunt.
