Regulation (EU) 2024/2847
CRA partner briefing for advisors and agencies
What Legalithm gives your clients free before 11 September 2026, what it deliberately does not do, and how to use it in a client conversation.
Free, no email required. Copy it, forward it, paste it into a deck.
The engagement 11 September creates
Every client who puts software or a connected product on the EU market needs three answers before that date: does the CRA reach us, could we meet the 24-hour clock, and who does what when it starts. The first two are free tools on this site and take minutes. The third is where your work is.
What you can hand a client today, free and unbranded
All three run without an account, store nothing, and cite the article behind every step, so a client can check the reasoning rather than take it on trust.
- A scope check that answers whether the CRA applies, running the same engine as the CLI.
- A reporting-readiness assessment: nine questions against Article 14(2), returning specific unmet obligations rather than a score.
- A reporting runbook and responsibility matrix, copyable as Markdown into a client wiki.
What we deliberately do not do
This matters more to you than to an end client, because you are the one whose name goes on the advice.
- We do not assert conformity. No output says a client is compliant, and nothing signs on their behalf.
- We do not block a release. The CI check reports; it never fails a build.
- We do not model Article 14(4) severe incidents, and we say so on every page that touches Article 14.
- We do not model penalties.
- The corpus is not counsel-reviewed. 114 obligations, verbatim Official Journal text with our commentary beside it, and we publish that distinction rather than blurring it.
How to use it in a client conversation
Send the scope check first and let the client run it themselves. A client who has seen their own answer, with the article beside it, arrives at the conversation already believing the problem is theirs. That is a different conversation from one that opens with you asserting it.
Then run the readiness assessment together. The gaps it returns are the scope of work, in the client's own words rather than yours.
Where we are, plainly
Legalithm is early: one founder, everything free while we build, no paid tier open yet. If that is disqualifying for your practice, better to know now than after you have put us in front of a client.
What you get in exchange is that the reasoning is inspectable, corrections are published, and nothing here claims more than it can show.
Questions
- What can I give a client for free?
- The scope check, the reporting readiness check and the runbook, all without an account and without anything being stored. Determinations are computed in the browser and disappear when the tab closes, which is usually the first question a client asks.
- Is the determination legal advice?
- No, and it does not try to be. It is a starting point with the article behind every step and a quote from the Official Journal, so an advisor can check the reasoning rather than take a verdict on trust. The judgement stays yours.
- What does Legalithm deliberately not do?
- We do not model Article 64 penalties, we do not model Article 14(4) severe incidents, and we do not have counsel review on our commentary. Those are stated on every page rather than buried, because an advisor who discovers a gap after recommending us has a worse problem than one who knew.
- How current is the underlying data?
- Each page names its corpus version, the date it was updated and the source it was extracted from. The reporting clocks, including the 24-hour early warning, are read from that corpus rather than typed into the page, so a page cannot disagree with the engine.
