02 — Problem space
Theexpensiveorderofevents
01
Order first, find out later
Today, retailers learn the legal classification of their product in reverse order: order, sell, complaint.
02
Classification is the expensive part
The list of obligations is written in the law — diligence work. The valuable part is the classification: what does this product legally count as?
03
Law changes to the exact date
GPSR, PPWR, Toy Regulation: every rule has a legal basis and a validity period. When the rulebook changes, affected products must be reassessed.
03 — How it works
Fromproducttochainofevidence
R1
Product file
Everything known about a product: raw data, documents, supplier information, images.
R2
Feature extraction
Structured extraction of typed features — with confidence and source reference per field.
R3
Rule evaluation
Deterministic, as of the effective date, without an LLM in the decision path. Same input always yields the same result.
R4
Reasoned finding
The complete rule path with its legal basis is disclosed — phrased in plain language.
R5
Approval
No artifact leaves the system without sign-off by a qualified person.
R6
Evidence record
Every evaluation is immutably chained — the exhibit for market surveillance and marketplaces.
04 — Four result states
Asystemthatsayswherethelegalpositioniscontestedismorevaluablethanonethatguesses.
decided
The rulebook applies unambiguously.
undecided
A feature is missing — the system asks the question.
escalated
Rule conflict — fixable through rule maintenance.
normatively indeterminate
The legal position itself is contested — honestly named.
Deterministic core, probabilistic edges — no LLM in the decision path.
Four result states: decided, undecided, escalated — and honestly “normatively indeterminate”.
A system that says “the legal position is contested here” is more valuable than one that guesses.
Reassessment when the rulebook changes: binding force and liability protection at once.
