## The panel's verdict

Autenti is a Polish e-signature platform whose bench scores cluster at 6-7 on signature levels, identity verification, signing workflow and evidence and retention, against a 4-4 range on integration and API. Judges credit three documented eIDAS levels — a non-qualified tamper-evident signature, an advanced one behind at least two independent authentication factors, and a qualified signature through Cencert with Certum (Simply Sign) and InfoCert named as providers — plus bulk signing of up to 100 simple or 50 qualified documents per process, and an evidence package of a qualified timestamp, an event register retained at least 6 years, an ETSI-standard XML validation report and a PDF validation certificate. The API is the weak spot: an open API and a marketplace are named, but the captured pages show no webhooks, sandbox, SDKs or named connectors. Sovereignty spans 4 to 6: the Poznań-registered entity and EU trust providers are proven, while hosting rests on the single word 'EU-based'. Pricing transparency scored 2-3 — no monetary figure appears, only plan names, a free account and a 20% first-period discount code (AUTENTI20EN).

**Speaks for it:**
- Three eIDAS signature levels are documented, with the qualified level delivered through named providers Cencert, Certum (Simply Sign) and InfoCert.
- Evidence tooling pairs a qualified timestamp and an event register retained at least 6 years with an ETSI-standard XML validation report and a PDF validation certificate.
- The qualified validator also validates documents created outside the Autenti platform.
- Bulk signing covers up to 100 e-signature or 50 qualified-signature documents in a single process.
- Ready-made contract templates (mandate, contract-for-work, commercial offer, NDA) come at no additional cost.

**Held against it:**
- An open API and marketplace are named but undocumented on the captured pages, which show no webhooks, sandbox, SDKs, rate limits or named connectors.
- Hosting is described only as 'EU-based', with no named data centre, subprocessor list or published data processing agreement on the captured pages.
- No captured page maps the three signature levels to the eSign PRO or eSign PREMIUM plans or links the named providers to the EU Trust List.
- The documented qualified path requires the mObywatel app, an NFC smartphone and a Polish e-ID card issued after March 4, 2019.
- Stored documents can be downloaded for one month after the trust service ends.

**Best for:**
- Your HR or administration team sends employment and B2B contracts in volume, mainly to Polish signers — the mObywatel qualified path, bulk caps and expert templates fit workflows the bench scored 6-7.
- You need audit- and court-ready evidence — the qualified validator, qualified timestamps, an event register kept at least 6 years and ETSI/PDF validation reports support the bench's 6-7 evidence scores.
- Your signers must pay nothing, install nothing and hold no certificate — the signer bears no costs and needs no account activation.
- You want handwritten-equivalent validity across the EU — Autenti by Cencert is stated to hold 'the same legal validity as a handwritten signature' in EU courts and public authorities.

**Avoid if:**
- Your product depends on embedding signing inside your own CRM, ERP or portal — integration and API scored a 4-4 range and the captured pages document no webhooks, sandbox, SDKs or named connectors.
- Most of your qualified signers are outside Poland — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your procurement requires the sovereignty chain in writing first — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v2). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Legal Counsel** (v1.0): Decides which contracts may be signed electronically and at which level. Wants SES, AdES and QES named per plan and country, the qualified trust service provider linked to the EU Trust List, and an audit trail with timestamps that still validates when the contract is disputed in eight years.
- **The HR Operations Lead** (v1.0): Sends two hundred employment contracts a year, many of them fixed-term and so under written form. Wants QES that a new hire can complete on a phone in ten minutes, identification that accepts the IDs applicants actually hold, bulk sending from templates, and a price per qualified signature known before the contract is signed.
- **The Revenue Operations Lead** (v1.0): Measures how long a quote takes to come back signed and where it stalls. Wants signing from inside the CRM, templates sales cannot break, reminders and signing order that run themselves, and a signer experience that needs no account, no app and no explanation.
- **The Integration Engineer** (v1.0): Embeds signing into the company's own portal and archives the result in the DMS. Wants a versioned API with webhooks and a sandbox, every signature level reachable through the API rather than only in the web app, and signed documents exported with their evidence intact.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Knows every signer who holds an ID card up to a camera hands biometric and identity data to a provider they never chose. Asks who performs the identification, where documents and ID data are stored, how long the audit trail keeps IP addresses, and who the subprocessors in the trust service chain are.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Knows "legally binding" usually means a simple signature. Reads for the level the default plan actually signs at, the QTSP the provider does not operate itself, the per-QES and ident fees on top of the plan, the envelope limit, and "eIDAS-compliant" from a provider that names no trust service at all.
