How this was built, and what it does not claim

The source

Every legal string in this wizard is sliced out of one dataset: the official EUR-Lex text of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 with Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, the Digital Omnibus, applied. It is the same dataset the EU AI Act Explorer serves, so the two tools can never quote different words for the same article. The consolidation is mechanical and unofficial, pending the official EUR-Lex consolidated text.

Official Journal of the European Union, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. The counts above are read from the dataset at build time, not typed by hand. Article 113, which sets every date this tool prints, is marked in the dataset as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.

The tree, branch by branch

1. 01DefinitionArt. 3(1)

   No inference means no AI system, so the tree ends. Article 4 is still surfaced, because AI literacy binds providers and deployers regardless.

2. 02ExclusionsArt. 2

   Any selected carve-out ends the tree with that paragraph quoted and its limit stated. Selecting none moves to territory.

3. 03TerritoryArt. 2(1)

   One of the six Article 2(1) connections continues the tree. None of them ends it, with point (c) flagged: third-country output used in the Union is in scope.

4. 04GPAIArt. 51 and 53

   Recorded rather than branching. A model provider carries Chapter V alongside whatever the system verdict is, so the GPAI receipts ride on every outcome.

5. 05ProhibitionsArt. 5(1)

   Any prohibited practice ends the tree at prohibited, with Article 99(3) and the applicable date. Points (ba) and (bb) carry the later date and the Article 5(1a) and (1b) qualifiers.

6. 06Annex IArt. 6(1)

   Yes moves to the Annex I section question. No moves to Annex III. The Article 6(1a) to (1c) qualifiers are shown either way, because they decide the answer.

7. 07SectionArt. 2(2)

   Section A gives high risk with Chapter III in full. Section B gives high risk on the sectoral track, where Article 2(2) leaves only Article 6(1), Article 60a and Articles 102 to 112 applicable.

8. 08Annex IIIAnnex III

   A fit moves to the Article 6(3) filter. No fit skips it and goes straight to Article 50 transparency.

9. 09FilterArt. 6(3)

   A filter condition with no profiling gives not high risk, plus the Article 6(4) documentation duty and Article 49(2) registration. Profiling, or no condition, gives high risk under Annex III.

10. 10TransparencyArt. 50

    Any Article 50 trigger gives limited risk with the paragraphs that apply. None gives minimal risk, with Article 95 and Article 4.

What the Digital Omnibus changed, and where the tree follows it

Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 has been in force since 27 July 2026. Five of its changes reach scoping directly, and each one is visible in the wizard rather than buried in it.

What it does not claim

• •It classifies, it does not advise. A classification is the first page of a compliance file, not the file.
• •It reads your answers, not your system. Every outcome is conditional on the answers being right, which is why each one names the word that carries it: exclusively, solely, intended purpose, materially.
• •It does not decide whether you are a provider, a deployer, an importer or a distributor, and Article 25 can change that answer mid-life. The obligations checklist splits duties by role.
• •It does not cover the Article 5 exceptions in operational detail, in particular the law enforcement objectives and judicial authorisations under Article 5(1)(h), (2) and (3).
• •It does not model national law. Member State rules reach systems this Regulation leaves alone, especially in national security, employment and workers' rights under Article 2(11).
• •It does not assess whether an Annex III use is permitted under Union or national law in the first place, which points 1, 6 and 7 each require before anything else.
• •The two Annex I section headings are not carried in the dataset, so the split into Section A and Section B is our structural reading of the Annex rather than quoted text. Every other legal string in the tool is verbatim.

What it keeps, and what it sends

Nothing and nothing. The wizard runs entirely in your browser: there is no request to a server when you answer, no cookie, no analytics event carrying your answers, and no record on our side that you used it. The answer path is written into this page's address so you can share or reopen a result, which means the only copy of your answers is the one in your own address bar. Treat a shared link the way you would treat the answers themselves.
