Start with one use caseWhy a one-time answer is not enough
An AI system changes. The law changes. Documentation and evidence must remain connected to the legal position they support.
ROOTS records a traceable route rather than a compliance percentage. A fixed dossier can be checked for integrity and provided for review when requested.
What the AI Act requires — and when
A permanent reference page sets out four continuing requirements for high-risk AI systems, the relevant articles and the amended application dates.
Read the legal requirements referenceBuilt for regulatory scrutiny
Structured automation provides consistency. Human legal review is used where legal interpretation matters. The objective is a defensible legal qualification supported by a traceable evidence route.
