What this check can and cannot decide

The list of what Complipath's check can and cannot decide is never generated per visitor. It is written once, by a person, against the engine's actual coverage, and versioned with it.

Written 2026-08-10 by Yobel Tzegai, against engine version 2026-08-09.1.

The corpus it was derived from

Instrument Known as In force Status
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 AI Act — Law · superseded in part

One pinned hash, shown in full. Every instrument in the corpus is published with its own.

What it decides

✓
Whether a system falls under one of the prohibited practices in Article 5(1), points (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h).
These five turn on facts about what the system does, not on a judgement about degree.
✓
Whether it matches an Annex III category, and which point.
Annex III enumerates use cases, and the assessment questions map onto them.
✓
Which transparency obligations under Article 50 attach.
They follow from what the system is and who it interacts with.
✓
Which obligations follow from the role you stated.
Provider and deployer carry different duty sets; once the role is stated, what follows is derivable.
✓
Which version of the legal text the assessment was made against, and which provisions have been amended since.
Every assessment is made against a specific text, and a comparison against the current one shows what has moved.

What it does not decide

This list is the reason to trust the first one. Nothing moves from here to there because the engine mostly handles it — a partial capability stays here, with the part it cannot do named.

·
Whether Article 5(1), points (a), (b) and (c) apply.
They turn on judgement — materially distorting behaviour, exploiting a vulnerability, a social score that is unjustified or disproportionate. These are flagged for legal review instead of being decided.
·
Whether you are the provider or the deployer, where you have not said so.
The role turns on facts about what you built, what you changed and under whose name it ships. It is asked, never inferred.
·
Whether a general-purpose model you build on crosses the systemic-risk threshold.
That is a fact about the model, held by its provider, not something visible from your system.
·
Whether Article 6(1) applies.
The product route turns on two conditions that have to hold together — a safety component of, or itself, a product covered by the Union harmonisation legislation in Annex I, and that product being required to undergo a third-party conformity assessment. It needs its own assessment.
·
Anything that depends on facts about training data or intended purpose that you have not supplied.
The engine works from what it was told. An unanswered question is not a permission to guess.

The lists above say where the engine stops; a complete example assessment shows both sides in one run — the verdict it reached with its reasoning, and the parts it left undetermined. Whether something is an AI system at all comes before any of this — the qualifying test is in Article 3, point (1). The order the classification runs in is here. These lists are about one thing the engine does; what the product covers of the Act article by article is the wider question, and three of its rows say it covers nothing. Why a record rather than an answer from a model is a different question again.

Complipath is EU AI Act compliance software for AI-heavy software companies without a compliance team — an AI system register, deterministic risk classification, the obligations that follow, and the evidence behind every decision.

Complipath is built by Yobel Tzegai in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Complipath provides legal information, not legal advice. Every guide cites its source on EUR-Lex — Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, and Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 where that has amended it; where the law is still settling, the guide says so.

We measure page views with Vercel Web Analytics. It uses no third-party cookies. Visitors are identified by a hash derived from the incoming request, which is discarded after 24 hours, and no identifier is stored that could follow a visitor to another site. What is collected: the time of the visit, the URL, the referring page, filtered query parameters, city-level location, operating system, browser and device type.
