What is KlarvoEngine?

KlarvoEngine is Klarvo's regulatory intelligence engine. It analyses your AI system through a 3-pass classification pipeline and produces an article-cited compliance memo with obligations, deadlines, and recommended controls — in under 60 seconds.

What is the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes obligations on providers and deployers of AI systems operating in the EU.

Any organisation that provides or deploys AI systems affecting people in the EU — regardless of where the organisation is based. This includes websites with AI chatbots, companies using AI analytics, and businesses integrating AI models into their products.

Prohibited AI practices have been enforceable since February 2025. GPAI model obligations since August 2025. Article 50 transparency and most remaining obligations apply from August 2, 2026.

What are the penalties?

Up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover for prohibited practices. Up to €15 million or 3% for transparency and other violations. For SMEs, the penalty is whichever amount is lower.

Understanding Your Classification Memo

Every KlarvoEngine classification produces a memo — a structured document explaining WHY your system received its classification, with references to specific articles.

Memo Sections

1. System Summary

What KlarvoEngine understood about your system: name, vendor, core function, affected persons, deployment context, and human involvement level.

2. AI System Definition Test

Whether your system meets the Article 3(1) definition. References the Commission's February 2025 guidelines on AI system definition. If it doesn't qualify as an AI system, no further obligations apply.

3. Prohibited Practices Screening

Results of checking all 8 Article 5 prohibitions. Each shows either "No indicators found" or a flag with explanation and the specific sub-paragraph.

4. Risk Classification

The core result:

Risk level: Prohibited, High-Risk, Limited Risk, or Minimal Risk

Reasoning: Why this level was assigned, citing specific articles

Annex III domain (if high-risk): Which domain applies (e.g., Domain 4(a) — recruitment)

Confidence level: How confident KlarvoEngine is

5. Applicable Articles

Specific EU AI Act articles that apply:

High-risk: Articles 9-17 (requirements) + Article 26 (deployer obligations) + Article 27 (FRIA)

Limited risk: Article 50 sub-articles

GPAI-based: Articles 51-56 references

6. Transparency Obligations

Which Article 50 sub-articles apply:

50(1) — AI interaction disclosure

50(2) — AI-generated content labelling

50(3) — Deepfake disclosure

50(4) — Public-interest AI text labelling

7. GPAI Model Status

If your system uses a foundation model (GPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Provider documentation check (Annex XII)

Training data summary verification

Systemic risk threshold (10²⁵ FLOPs)
