Can software draft each part of our Annex IV documentation from the records we already keep?

What it does

• Lists the nine points of Annex IV for one system, in the Annex's order, on its documentation page. Each shows Confirmed, Drafted, needs review, or Needs your answer.
• Parts 1 to 3 draw on the register (purpose, vendor, owners), the classification, connected tools, data answers, your files and the first sentence of your oversight section.
• Parts 5, 6 and 9 draw on your open risks, the register's change history, the problems your connected tools found, the incidents you recorded and your files.
• Parts 4, 7 and 8 draw only on your files, found by the article each is filed under or by words in its name. Any part can also use text you wrote for its point.

How a sentence is made

• A sentence states one fact from one source, in a fixed form, with the source named and linked under it. No model writes it.
• Where you wrote the answer to a point of Annex IV in your documentation, the first sentence of it is used and cited to that point.
• Where no source says it, nothing is written. The part asks one question instead: the first five parts without a source ask, so no system gets more than five, and the rest wait.

What Confirmed means

• A part shows Confirmed when a person has confirmed the documentation section tied to it and the part has a sentence.
• Only parts 1, 2, 3 and 5 are tied to a section. Parts 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 can show Drafted, needs review at most.
• Part 2 is tied to the data description section, which answers point 2(d) of Annex IV. Confirmed does not mean the other limbs of point 2 are answered.

What it does not do

• It does not read your files. A file sentence says the point is set out in the file you named, because the file is filed under that article or its name says so. Open the file and check.
• A drafted part is not a complete point. Points 1 and 2 of Annex IV each have eight lettered limbs, and a sentence covers only what a source says.
• It does not say whether a system needs Annex IV. That follows from the classification: Article 11(1) applies to high-risk AI systems.
• It sends nothing to an authority and certifies nothing.

Which plan

Every plan, the free first system included. The plan only decides which sources exist: connected tools and data answers are Starter features, and a part with no source asks a question.

Where it sits in the law

• Article 11(1), first subparagraph: the technical documentation of a high-risk AI system “shall be drawn up before that system is placed on the market or put into service and shall be kept up-to date”.
• Chapter III, Sections 1, 2 and 3, other than Article 6(5), which include Article 11, apply from 2 December 2027 for systems that are high-risk under Article 6(2) and Annex III, and from 2 August 2028 for those under Article 6(1) and Annex I (Article 113, third paragraph, point (c), as replaced by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 (the Digital Omnibus on AI)).
• Article 11(1), second subparagraph, as replaced by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744: the documentation contains, at a minimum, the elements set out in Annex IV. SMEs (start-ups included) and SMCs may provide them in a simplified manner, on a form the Commission is to establish.
• Whoever opts in must use that form, and notified bodies shall accept it for the conformity assessment. The 2024 text named SMEs only. This page does not assume the form has been published, so check before relying on it.
• Annex IV itself is not amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. Its point 9 refers to the post-market monitoring plan in Article 72(3), which that Regulation replaced: the Commission is to adopt guidance, including a template, by 2 September 2027.
