· Analysis EU AI Act Logging

What the EU logging standard will and will not tell you

The AI Act says why to log and how long to keep it, not which fields to write. What ISO/IEC 24970 and prEN 18229-1 are expected to settle, what AESIA Guía 12 already lists, and the one field none of them asks for: the rule and the law behind each decision.

When anyone can open a case: what a deployer produces on an Article 85 complaint

Since 2 August 2026, anyone can start a case under the EU AI Act: a complaint, a whistleblower report or a downstream provider's claim, alongside the authorities' own checks. The question is what you produce when one is opened. The three channels, correctly scoped, and what a hollow log looks like next to a complete, exportable decision record.

Cited decisions: the EU AI Act runtime enforcement audit trail

From 2 August 2026, Article 50 binds. When an AI agent interacts with a person, the system must disclose what it is and on whose behalf it acts. Here is the obligation, the Commission's guidance on agents, and what the runtime enforcement audit trail must carry: hash, timestamp and chain position on every decision, the legal citation when a phrase rule or the injection check fires. A wider-review block does not cite an article. and an export a reviewer can verify offline. That kind of record is now specified as ADCR, the open Rulebook.

· Engineering Audit Verification

What an auditor can verify in two minutes

Three checks against the EU AI Act rules that anyone can run from the public repository, with no account: a rule ID and the article it applies, benchmark scores that re-derive offline, and an audit export that fails verification when one field is edited.

We graded 12 GPAI providers on EU AI Act documentation

Google and Meta lead at 83.3%; xAI trails at 16.7%. Industry average 53.1% on public documentation across six GPAI obligation categories: open leaderboard, reproducible from provider evidence files. Every score is a reading of public documents, still marked needs_review.

· Engineering EU AI Act OPA/Rego

Why we built EU AI Act enforcement on OPA/Rego, not an LLM

Most AI guardrails use an LLM-as-judge pattern. That works as a content filter: it does not work as compliance. We put OPA/Rego on the hot path. After a clean pass on a paid plan, an injection meaning check runs when the month's model budget covers it. If that budget is used up, the phrase rules decide. The wider legal review runs only when you turn it on and that budget covers it. Here is why the order matters.
