Methodology and editorial standards

Last updated 25 July 2026 · External legal review pending

ActBrief is a preliminary technical readiness tool, not legal advice. It produces hypotheses from submitted facts and a rules engine. It does not certify compliance, perform a conformity assessment, or replace product-specific review by qualified counsel.

1. What the scanner evaluates

The scanner maps intended purpose, provider or deployer role, territorial signals, affected persons, material influence, profiling, automation, model provider, and data categories to potential AI Act issues. It produces risk signals, documentation gaps, effective dates, missing facts, and questions for counsel.

2. How conclusions are limited

3. Primary sources

4. Editorial updates

Dated content includes a last-reviewed date and, where relevant, a change log. Material changes to application dates, Commission guidance, or scope interpretation should update the relevant source trail, checklist, template, and scanner output together.

5. Human review status

Content is currently published by ActBrief Editorial. External legal review of the full methodology is pending and is stated visibly rather than implied. Named reviewer metadata will only be added after an identifiable reviewer has reviewed the relevant material.

6. Report data

Free reports are generated by a deterministic rules engine from the information submitted. Product descriptions are not sent to a third-party language model to generate the report. See the Privacy Policy for retention and processor details.
