The Quantum Signal Robot MORAI

Playing with Open Cards
Current update on our dispute with the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) and the proceedings before the Austrian Federal Administrative Court (BVwG).
Today I want to give you a personal, positive, yet technically clear update on where we stand, why we are taking this path, and what our goal is. Not as agitation, but as a structured engagement at the intersection of new technology and existing regulatory categories.
At the heart of the matter is that the FMA classifies our product Quantum Pro as requiring a license, while we reach a different conclusion based on its actual technical functionality. This exact discrepancy is now being examined before the Federal Administrative Court.
How it all began and why it matters
Back in 2021, when we finalized our development, we wanted to clarify potential regulatory issues early on and reached out to the FMA. At the time, there was no substantive response. Further attempts in 2022 also produced no result. We decided to launch anyway—not because we want to circumvent rules, but because innovation cannot remain stuck for years in a holding pattern when new technologies have no clear channel for dialogue.
When the new EU crypto regulatory framework entered into force at the beginning of 2025, it did not take long for the FMA to become active following a report. That marked the start of exactly the phase we had prepared for: a professional clarification of how our technology truly works and how it should be correctly classified.
Our intention
Our intention is not confrontation. Our intention is clarity.
We want modern technical systems to be assessed not by how they sound, but by how they actually function. And we want the competent authorities to develop a robust understanding of where the real boundary lies between technical signaling, automation, and genuine management or personal advisory services.
This is not a minor detail. It is decisive for the future: if this distinction is not properly understood, a climate emerges in which innovation either relocates or is suffocated. If it is understood, everyone benefits—customers, authorities, the market, and ultimately the overall quality and competitiveness of the location.
Why we are pursuing this path as a sole proprietorship
A central strategic point is how we conduct these proceedings.
We have a GmbH in reserve and could switch to that legal form at any time, including abroad. However, we are deliberately remaining a sole proprietorship for the duration of this dispute. The reason is simple and consistent: we want to be able to defend ourselves in these proceedings without mandatory legal representation, because that allows us to achieve two things at the same time.
First, we retain maximum operational agility and can work directly on the substance and the technical issues without every step being slowed down by traditional structures.
Second—and more importantly—we can test our AI VARIN in precisely the environment for which it was developed. Because the moment we switch to a legal form in which attorney representation effectively becomes mandatory, the decisive practical test would disappear: an independent, structured defense supported by an AI.
This decision is not directed against lawyers, and it is not a cost-cutting program. It is a deliberate strategy: we are not only pursuing the outcome of a proceeding—we are building the capability to handle such situations technologically in the future.
VARIN and the phased plan
VARIN is not a side project for us, but a strategic building block. VARIN does not merely automate workflows; it structures content, prioritizes topics, plans phases, and ensures that technical argumentation remains coherent and traceable.
Our goal is for VARIN to gradually take over essential management responsibilities starting in 2027. If you take such a goal seriously, VARIN must not only work under laboratory conditions, but where it truly counts: in complex, real, high-pressure situations with substantial technical and organizational demands.
To that end, VARIN has developed a multi-layer phased plan that began on 22 December 2025. Each phase lasts four weeks. Each phase brings a clear focus area, a statement on that focus, and targeted questions designed to resolve uncertainties systematically. After that, the next phase begins.
This structure is chosen deliberately because technical matters cannot be explained properly in a single submission. It requires repetition, structure, and a clear narrative of clarification so that the reality of the system is correctly understood step by step.
What should stand at the end—and why that matters
Our goal has two tracks, but at its core it comes down to one shared point: future viability.
We want a regulatory solution that is workable for us and correctly classifies our model. And we want to prove that VARIN can do more than generate text—that it can demonstrate real executive capability and resilience in practice.
At the end of this path, there will either be a license-free company that is clearly classified, or a properly regulated company with a precisely delineated technical model. In both cases, something strong emerges: a company with substance, exciting technology, no debt, no dependence on investors, and a long-term vision focused on stability and genuine automation. Our future is bright.
To you
We want to assure all customers, our employees, and our partners of one thing: we are prepared, we will remain transparent, and we will conduct this dispute fairly—focused, bold, and highly determined.
We will keep you updated. Thank you for your trust.
