Eight steps

How does Complipath prove EU AI Act compliance, step by step?

Written by Yobel Tzegai. Last checked 9 October 2026 against Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 and against our prices. The capability statuses below were read on 8 October 2026.

With a record at each of the eight steps a reviewer takes, from what the system is to what happens when the law changes. Complipath (complipath.io) keeps each answer with the article behind it. It is a self-assessment with its sources, not a certification or a legal opinion.

What Complipath does

Each row with its status on 8 October 2026, from the same table as what Complipath is. Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms.

AI inventory
Every AI system you build or use, with its owner and risk class.
Live
Risk classification
Answers go through rules in code, never a language model, so the same answers always give the same result.
Live
Article mapping
Each reason behind a verdict names the provision it rests on, so a reader can check it herself.
Live
Obligations per system
Confirming a classification creates the obligations that follow from it, each with an owner, a status and a place for evidence.
Live
Deadlines
Each obligation carries the date it applies from, derived from where the provision sits rather than written onto the row.
Live
Annex IV documentation
A workspace for the technical documentation, section by section, saying which Annex IV points each one answers.
Live
Documentation drafting
Drafts a documentation section from the facts in your register, and says which limbs it could not answer.
Live
Named owners
A person behind every system and every duty.
Live
Evidence management
A file linked to the requirements it proves, with the passage and its page.
Live
Audit log
Who did what, and when. No one can edit or delete a line, an owner included; only deleting the whole workspace removes it.
Live
Regulatory change monitoring
Checks the provisions your confirmed records cite against amending acts, and emails you per affected system.
Live
Export (PDF, JSON, spreadsheet)
The whole register as a spreadsheet, as JSON or as a PDF, with the exact law texts it was assessed against.

What Complipath does not do yet

Audit pack
One file for an auditor: every system, its classification, evidence, the audit log and a fingerprint. Not available yet.
In progress
Customer questionnaires (audit room)
Coming soon: answering a customer's AI questionnaire from your own register.
In progress
Conformity assessment (Article 43)
We found no support for this in what we have built. The same search found the number in one file — a comment using it as an example of the Official Journal's citation form — and the words in six, every one of them quoting Article 6(1), point (b)'s third-party condition, an Article 5 sentence or a section name. No template, no column, no limb.
Not supported
Full risk-management lifecycle
Article 9 is listed as a duty with its date. There is no risk register to run the cycle in.
Not supported
Post-market monitoring (Article 72)
We found no support for this in what we have built. MVP searched 245 shipped source files, 44 migrations, 14 obligation templates, 15 export columns and 12 Annex IV limbs, on the article number and on the provision's own words: nothing on any of the five.

What it costs

Starter is €499 a month and includes 20 AI systems. Archived systems don’t count toward your limit. Prices exclude VAT. Your first system is free, with no end date. Growth and Scale are not available yet. Pricing has the full terms.

1. What is the system?

Every AI system you build or use goes into one inventory, with its owner and its risk class. An AI tool you buy is registered and classified like one you build, with the obligations of a deployer.

2. Which parts of the law apply?

Each system is classified by rules in code, and the same answers always give the same result. The outcomes are the Act's: prohibited under Article 5, high-risk under Article 6, transparency duties under Article 50, which can stand beside high-risk, or none of the three.

3. Why?

Each reason behind a verdict names the provision it rests on, so a reader can check it. The export carries the exact law texts the system was assessed against.

4. What must we do?

Confirming a classification creates the obligations that follow from it, each with an owner, a status and a place for evidence. Each obligation carries the date it applies from, derived from where the provision sits in the Act.

5. Show the document

The Annex IV technical documentation is written section by section, in a workspace that says which Annex IV points each section answers. A section can be drafted from the facts in your register, and the draft says which limbs it could not answer. A confirmed section is never rewritten: a new version is opened and the old one kept, and the documentation PDF carries a SHA-256 fingerprint of its content.

6. Who owns it?

A named person stands behind every system and every duty. Confirming a classification stamps it with the person who confirmed it and the time.

7. Show the proof

A file is linked to the requirements it proves, with the passage quoted and the page it stands on; the quote is checked word for word against that page in code, and nothing changes until a person applies it. The audit log lists who did what and when, on Starter and in the trial, not on Free; no one can edit or delete a line, an owner included. Only deleting the whole workspace removes it. Not available yet, and in progress: one file for an auditor with all of it, the audit pack.

8. What happens when the law changes?

Complipath checks the provisions your confirmed records cite against amending acts and emails you for each affected system. A recorded classification is never rewritten: running it again stores a new one beside it, and the earlier one stays as it was recorded.

Questions

Does Complipath certify EU AI Act compliance?

No. Complipath is a self-assessment tool: it keeps your own answers, each with the article behind it, and the record of who confirmed what and when. A conformity assessment under Article 43 is a separate procedure for high-risk systems, and Complipath does not run one. Use your lawyer for judgment. Use Complipath for the groundwork.

Which of the eight steps is not live?

All eight have a live record behind them. What is not available yet is the single file for an auditor that gathers them, the audit pack, which is in progress. Answering a customer's questionnaire from the register is coming soon. Both are marked in the table above, as read on the date it gives.

Where does the AI come in?

Rules decide. AI only drafts. A person confirms. The classification runs on rules in code. A language model drafts documentation sections and reads uploaded files for matching passages, and each draft or match waits for a person to apply it. The audit log records who did what and when.

What does a reviewer see at the end?

The register: every system with its risk class and the article, its obligations with owners, status and dates, the documentation and its fingerprinted PDF, the evidence linked with passage and page, and the audit log. The register exports as a spreadsheet, as JSON or as a PDF, with the exact law texts it was assessed against.
