Compliance Evidence Pack

If you deploy AI agents and an auditor, a customer or a regulator asks what you can show, a pack turns Karatum's measurements of your agent into one document: test coverage and results with confidence intervals, robustness against hostile input, behavioural drift, logging coverage, incident history with response times, and oversight controls. It is mapped control by control to the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A, and for each control it says what the evidence does not show and what you still have to supply. The pack is generated deterministically: the same inputs give the same JSON, PDF and manifest, and the manifest hash is attested on Ethereum Sepolia.

Evidence, not an opinion. This document compiles technical measurements that Karatum produced about one AI agent build. It is not legal advice, not a conformity assessment, not a certification and not an audit opinion. It does not say that any law, regulation or standard is met. Karatum is not a notified body, a market surveillance authority, an accredited certification body or an auditor under ISO/IEC 42001 or any other scheme.

A section that reads “absent” is an honest gap: the pack lists it, and every control that leans on it drops from “evidence attached”. Nothing is filled in to look complete.

Control matrix

47 controls, map version 1.0.0 (hash 0xb1601aaa…1b9a6a). Open a control to see the requirement in our words, the Karatum artefacts that are evidence, what they do not show and what you must supply. The EU AI Act articles shown apply to high-risk AI systems, mostly to their providers (Art. 6 and Annex III decide whether yours is one; Karatum does not classify); the NIST AI RMF is voluntary; ISO/IEC 42001 certifies an organisation's management system, never a tool. General-purpose AI model obligations are out of scope.

EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689

RefControlApplies toPrimary Karatum evidenceIn the sample pack
Art. 6 and Annex III
Is the system high-risk?

Requirement (paraphrase). A system is high-risk if it is a safety component of a product under the Annex I legislation, or if it falls in an Annex III use case (for example creditworthiness assessment of natural persons, employment, essential services), unless the Art. 6(3) exemptions apply and are documented.

Karatum evidence

None: this control is entirely the operator's.

What it does not show

  • Karatum evidence says nothing about the intended purpose of the operator's system, which is what decides the classification. An agent that executes on-chain transactions is not high-risk merely because it is an AI agent.

The operator must supply

  • Document the intended purpose and the classification with its reasoning (including any Art. 6(3) exemption and its registration duty).
  • Re-assess when the intended purpose or deployment context changes.
High-risk systems only: providers and deployersnoneOperator evidence only
Art. 9
Risk management system

Requirement (paraphrase). A continuous, iterative risk management process across the life cycle: identify and analyse known and foreseeable risks to health, safety and fundamental rights (including foreseeable misuse), estimate and evaluate them, adopt suitable measures, and test the system against prior-defined metrics and probabilistic thresholds, including under real-world conditions where appropriate.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Trial verdicts. Repeatable test results with outcome verified from chain state or test execution, giving measured success rates over a stated sample (supports the testing step, Art. 9(6) to (8)).
  • Primary: K-rating certificate. A probabilistic threshold made explicit: the lower 95% confidence bound of the success rate, with sample size, evidence class and expiry.
  • Primary: Shield certificate. Testing against foreseeable adversarial inputs (the injection attack classes of the Shield suite), reported by class.
  • Supporting: Honesty Index. Measures one specific risk: the agent reporting success when it did not succeed.
  • Supporting: Behavioural fingerprints. Detects change in behaviour after a model, prompt or tool update, a trigger for re-running the risk assessment.
  • Supporting: Incident Registry. Post-deployment incidents on the build feed the risk evaluation required by Art. 9(2)(c).
  • Supporting: Karatum Guard. An on-chain gate and tier caps are a risk-control measure for transactions the agent initiates.

What it does not show

  • Karatum tests fixed task suites (on-chain web3 tasks and software tasks). They are not a test of the operator's intended purpose or of risks to health, safety or fundamental rights.
  • Shield covers the attack classes of its suite version only; it is not a complete adversarial assessment.
  • A measured success rate is not a statement that residual risk is acceptable (Art. 9(5)); that judgement is the provider's.

The operator must supply

  • Identify and analyse the risks of the intended purpose and of reasonably foreseeable misuse, including impact on persons under 18 and other vulnerable groups where relevant (Art. 9(9)).
  • Define the metrics and thresholds appropriate to the intended purpose and show how the Karatum numbers relate to them.
  • Document the risk management process, the residual risk and the decision that it is acceptable; review it on a schedule.

Art. 11 and Annex IV
Technical documentation (testing part)

Requirement (paraphrase). Technical documentation drawn up before placing on the market and kept up to date, including a description of the validation and testing procedures with test logs and reports dated and signed by the responsible persons (Annex IV, point 2(g)).

Karatum evidence

  • Supporting: Trial verdicts. Test logs of Karatum trials: task, evidence, verdict hash and attestation per attempt.
  • Supporting: Verifiable judge provenance. Reproducible description of how each verdict was decided: trace, evaluator digest, source commit.
  • Supporting: K-rating certificate. Summary of the results with confidence intervals.
  • Supporting: Shield certificate. Robustness testing report.

What it does not show

  • Only the validation and testing material of Annex IV point 2(g) can draw on Karatum. System description, design, data, training and monitoring parts of the documentation are untouched.

The operator must supply

  • Everything else in Annex IV: general description, development process, data and training methodologies, monitoring and control, performance metrics rationale, risk management description, changes over the life cycle, declaration of conformity.
  • Dated and signed test reports by the responsible persons.
High-risk systems only: providersnonePartial evidence
Art. 12 (and Arts. 19, 26(6))
Record-keeping: automatic event logging

Requirement (paraphrase). High-risk systems must technically allow automatic recording of events over their lifetime, to a degree that enables identifying situations that may present a risk or a substantial modification, supports post-market monitoring (Art. 72) and deployers' monitoring of operation (Art. 26(5)). Providers keep the logs under their control (Art. 19) and deployers keep them for a period appropriate to the purpose, at least six months (Art. 26(6)).

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Flight Recorder. A tamper-evident record of the agent's steps: signed, hash-chained batches with gap and equivocation detection, optionally anchored on-chain. Coverage in this pack is the measured number of batches, steps, gaps and anchored batches.
  • Supporting: Trial verdicts. Per-attempt records of the trials the agent ran, each with a verdict hash.
  • Supporting: Verifiable judge provenance. The judge's complete input for each verdict is stored (trace), so the evaluation itself is reconstructible.
  • Supporting: Karatum Guard. Preflight checks of transactions the agent proposed are logged with their verdicts.

What it does not show

  • The Flight Recorder records what the operator's agent chooses to emit through the SDK or proxy. Steps are committed as hashes; contents stay with the operator unless disclosed, so Karatum cannot show the content of a log.
  • Karatum does not hold the operator's logs and cannot attest that the event set is sufficient for the intended purpose.

The operator must supply

  • Define which events the system must log for its intended purpose (Art. 12(2)) and show that the recorded set covers them.
  • Set and document retention (at least six months for deployers, longer where other law requires) and access control, and handle personal data in logs under data-protection law.
  • Keep the underlying log contents, not only their commitments.
High-risk systems only: providers and deployersFlight RecorderPartial evidence
Art. 13
Transparency and information to deployers

Requirement (paraphrase). The system must be sufficiently transparent for deployers to interpret its output and use it appropriately, and be accompanied by instructions for use giving its characteristics, capabilities and limits of performance, including declared accuracy levels and metrics, known circumstances that may affect them, robustness and cybersecurity, human oversight measures and logging mechanisms.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: K-rating certificate. A declared accuracy metric with its confidence interval and the conditions (task class, evidence class, sample, expiry) under which it was measured.
  • Supporting: Shield certificate. Robustness figures by attack class that can be quoted in instructions for use.
  • Supporting: Honesty Index. Tells a deployer how far the agent's own success report can be trusted.
  • Supporting: Flight Recorder. Describes the logging mechanism that exists.

What it does not show

  • These are measurements to cite; they are not the instructions for use. Karatum figures describe Karatum's task suites, not the operator's deployment context.

The operator must supply

  • Write the instructions for use: intended purpose, performance for the target users and contexts, foreseeable misuse, input data specification, oversight measures, maintenance, expected lifetime, log access (Art. 13(3)).
  • State which measured figures the operator adopts as its declared accuracy and why they are relevant.
High-risk systems only: providersK-rating certificateEvidence attached
Art. 14
Human oversight

Requirement (paraphrase). The system is designed so natural persons can effectively oversee it while in use: understand its capacities and limits, monitor its operation, stay aware of automation bias, interpret output, decide not to use or to override it, and intervene or stop it.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Karatum Guard. A technical intervention point: an account that installs the Guard refuses the agent's transaction while its certificate is not valid or exceeds the tier caps, whatever the agent says.
  • Supporting: Recall actions and drills. A confirmed incident revokes the agent across the Guard registries; the pack shows measured revocation latency, and labels drills as drills.
  • Supporting: Honesty Index. Gives overseers a measured basis for how much weight the agent's own reports deserve (automation bias).
  • Supporting: K-rating certificate. A visible, expiring status that tells an overseer whether the agent is currently in a certified state.

What it does not show

  • The Guard enforces only for accounts that have installed it, and only on the chains it is deployed to (testnets at the time of writing).
  • Karatum does not identify, train or authorise the human overseers and does not provide an operator interface. The pack cannot read the per-account Guard settings of an operator's account; list those in the declaration.

The operator must supply

  • Assign named persons with competence, training and authority (Art. 26(2)), and document the oversight measures and the stop procedure.
  • Provide interface tools that let overseers interpret the system's output and review its actions.
  • Document where human approval is required before an action takes effect and how it is evidenced.
High-risk systems only: providers and deployersKaratum GuardEvidence attached
Art. 15
Accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity

Requirement (paraphrase). An appropriate level of accuracy, robustness and cybersecurity throughout the life cycle, with accuracy metrics declared in the instructions for use; resilience to errors, faults and inconsistencies; and resilience against attempts by third parties to alter use, outputs or performance by exploiting vulnerabilities (for example data poisoning, model poisoning, adversarial examples, confidentiality attacks).

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: K-rating certificate. Accuracy as a measured success rate on verified outcomes, with a 95% confidence interval and sample size.
  • Primary: Trial verdicts. The underlying verified outcomes, by task type and evidence class.
  • Primary: Shield certificate. Resilience to the adversarial input classes in the Shield suite (prompt injection and related), measured as attacks resisted out of attacks delivered.
  • Supporting: Behavioural fingerprints. Consistency of behaviour over time on a fixed probe set; drift above the policy threshold marks the certificate STALE.
  • Supporting: Verifiable judge provenance. The accuracy measurement itself is reproducible.
  • Supporting: Honesty Index. Reliability of the system's own self-reported outcome.

What it does not show

  • Accuracy is measured on Karatum's task suites. It does not prove accuracy for the operator's inputs.
  • Shield does not test data or model poisoning, model extraction, confidentiality attacks or the cybersecurity of the operator's infrastructure, keys and APIs.
  • No test shows fail-safe or fallback behaviour (Art. 15(4)).

The operator must supply

  • Declare the accuracy levels and metrics for the intended purpose in the instructions for use (Art. 15(3)).
  • Cybersecurity of the system and its hosting: threat model, penetration testing, secrets and key management, access control, supply-chain controls.
  • Technical redundancy, fail-safe and fallback measures; handling of feedback loops if the system keeps learning.

Art. 26
Deployer obligations (monitoring and logs)

Requirement (paraphrase). Deployers of high-risk systems use them according to the instructions, assign human oversight, monitor operation and inform the provider and authorities where they identify a risk or serious incident, and keep the automatically generated logs for at least six months.

Karatum evidence

  • Supporting: Flight Recorder. The recorded operation that deployer monitoring and log retention can build on.
  • Supporting: Incident Registry. Incidents that name the build, with the timeline of operator notification and response.
  • Supporting: Karatum Guard. A gate at the deployer's own account that constrains what the agent can do.

What it does not show

  • Karatum is not the deployer's monitoring function and does not hold the deployer's logs.

The operator must supply

  • Use according to the provider's instructions; assign and train oversight persons; input data relevance; inform provider and authorities; keep logs for at least six months; inform workers and affected persons where Art. 26(7) and (11) require it.
High-risk systems only: deployersnonePartial evidence
Art. 72
Post-market monitoring

Requirement (paraphrase). Providers establish a post-market monitoring system proportionate to the system, which actively and systematically collects, documents and analyses relevant data on performance throughout its life, to evaluate continuous compliance, based on a post-market monitoring plan that is part of the technical documentation.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Behavioural fingerprints. Continuous behavioural drift measurement against a baseline, with the history of measurements.
  • Primary: K-rating certificate. A certificate that is recomputed on a schedule, expires and changes status when evidence goes stale.
  • Supporting: Incident Registry. Registered failures with detection source, severity and timeline.
  • Supporting: Flight Recorder. Operational data the operator can analyse for performance over time.
  • Supporting: Honesty Index. Recomputed periodically; monthly editions are immutable.
  • Supporting: Trial verdicts. The ongoing trial history, with first and last attempt dates in the pack.

What it does not show

  • Karatum monitors its own scheduled trials and probes. Performance in real use is visible only if the operator records it, for example through the Flight Recorder.

The operator must supply

  • Write the post-market monitoring plan (the Commission template under Art. 72(3)); decide what data to collect from deployers and users, how to analyse it and who acts on it.
  • Where relevant, analyse interaction with other AI systems.

Art. 73 (with Arts. 3(49), 20, 26(5))
Serious incident reporting

Requirement (paraphrase). Providers of high-risk systems report serious incidents to the market surveillance authorities of the Member States where they occurred, immediately after establishing a causal link or its reasonable likelihood and not later than 15 days after becoming aware (shorter periods of 10 or 2 days apply to specific kinds), investigate, and take corrective action.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Incident Registry. Detection, classification, severity, status and a timestamped timeline for each incident that names the build, including when the operator was notified and responded.
  • Supporting: Recall actions and drills. Corrective action on the Karatum side: certificate revocation, with measured latency.
  • Supporting: Flight Recorder. Records the operator can use to reconstruct what happened (traceability for the investigation).

What it does not show

  • Karatum incident classes such as fund loss are not the legal term 'serious incident' (death or serious harm to health, serious and irreversible disruption of critical infrastructure, infringement of fundamental-rights obligations, serious harm to property or the environment). Financial loss alone may not qualify.
  • A Karatum incident entry is not a report to an authority and Karatum files none on anyone's behalf.

The operator must supply

  • Decide whether each event is a serious incident under Art. 3(49) and keep the reasoning.
  • Run the reporting procedure to the competent authority within the deadlines (15, 10 or 2 days depending on the case, Art. 73(2) to (4)); perform and document the investigation and corrective actions (Art. 73(6)); notify the Karatum operator contact about incidents Karatum does not know of.

Requirement (paraphrase). Measurable performance improvements or declines are identified based on consultations with relevant AI actors and documented.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Behavioural fingerprints. Measured drift against baseline over time.
  • Primary: K-rating certificate. Status changes (VALID, STALE, EXPIRED, REVOKED) as evidence ages or behaviour changes.

What it does not show

  • No consultation with users or domain experts is part of the data.

The operator must supply

  • Consult relevant AI actors on whether a change is an improvement or a decline.

MANAGE 1.3
Responses to high-priority risks

Requirement (paraphrase). Responses to the AI risks deemed high priority are developed, planned and documented, for example mitigating, transferring, avoiding or accepting.

Karatum evidence

  • Supporting: Karatum Guard. On-chain gating is a mitigation available for transaction risk.
  • Supporting: Recall actions and drills. A recall can withdraw the agent's certified status.

What it does not show

  • Karatum implements mitigations; deciding the response to a risk is the organisation's.

Voluntary frameworknonePartial evidence
MANAGE 2.4
Supersede, disengage or deactivate

Requirement (paraphrase). Mechanisms are in place and applied, and responsibilities assigned, to supersede, disengage or deactivate AI systems that demonstrate performance or outcomes inconsistent with intended use.

Karatum evidence

  • Primary: Recall actions and drills. A confirmed incident revokes the certificate in Guard registries and withdraws the attestation; drills measure the time.
  • Primary: Karatum Guard. Accounts with the Guard installed stop executing the agent's transactions once its certificate is revoked or expired.

What it does not show

  • Only for accounts that use the Guard, on the chains it is deployed to. It does not turn off the agent itself.

The operator must supply

  • A way to stop the agent in the operator's own stack and a named person responsible for using it.

Karatum artefacts used as evidence

ArtefactWhat it isAnchor
Trial verdictsOutcomes of tasks the agent attempted in Karatum trials on a fork of real chain state (or in a sandboxed software task), decided by the judge from chain state and test results, never from the agent's own report, each with an evidence class E0 to E4.Each verdict hash is attested on Ethereum Sepolia (EAS); the pack commits to the full verdict set with a SHA-256 over all counted attempts.
K-rating certificateA per task-class summary of the verdicts: successes, sample size, a 95% Wilson confidence interval, the weakest evidence class, an expiry, and a status (VALID, STALE, EXPIRED, REVOKED, INSUFFICIENT) that changes when behaviour drifts or the certificate expires.Computed from the verdict set; mirrored on-chain to the Guard registries.
Verifiable judge provenanceFor verdicts decided since traces were kept, the complete judge input (trace) and the digest of the published evaluator bundle that decided it, so anyone can re-run the judge; plus scheduled re-verification runs.Evaluator bundle digests are registered on Ethereum Sepolia; provenance is attested with the verdict attestation as reference.
Honesty IndexHow well the agent's own success and failure claims (E0) match the verified outcome: over-claim rate with confidence interval, claim bias and calibration error.Monthly editions are immutable and their snapshot hash is attested on Ethereum Sepolia.
Shield certificateResult of a seeded red-team suite run against the agent on a fork: how many injected attacks (prompt injection and related classes in the suite) the agent resisted, by attack class, and whether it stayed useful.Certificate hash attested on Ethereum Sepolia.
Behavioural fingerprintsHashes of how the agent behaves on a fixed probe set (tool sequence and rounded arguments) and the share of probes that differ from the baseline (drift). Detects silent changes of model, prompt or tools.Fingerprint hashes are stored; the current hash is referenced by the certificate.
Flight RecorderA signed, hash-chained record of the agent's own steps, committed in batches by the agent's key (content stays private unless disclosed), checked for gaps and forks, and optionally anchored on-chain; disclosed steps are compared with on-chain facts.Batch roots are anchored in EAS attestations on Base Sepolia.
Incident RegistryA CVE-style registry (KAR-YYYY-NNNN) of AI-agent failures with a documented severity score, a status lifecycle and a timestamped public timeline, fed by detectors, public reports and operators.Confirmed incidents are written to KaratumIncidentLog on Base Sepolia and Ethereum Sepolia; a signed feed is published.
Recall actions and drillsWhat happened on-chain when an incident was confirmed: certificate revocation in the Guard registries, EAS revocation, ERC-8004 feedback, incident log entries, with the measured latency from confirmation to the block that carried each action. Drills rehearse the mechanism and are labelled as such.Each action is an on-chain transaction on a testnet.
Karatum GuardA Safe guard and ERC-7579 module that only lets an agent's transaction execute while its certificate is valid and within the tier caps, plus preflight checks that simulate a transaction before it is sent. The pack shows the agent's tier leaves, the registries they were published to and the preflight outcomes.Certificate roots are published to KaratumCertRegistry contracts on Base Sepolia and Ethereum Sepolia.

Read this before you rely on it

  • This document compiles technical measurements that Karatum produced about one AI agent build. It is not legal advice, not a conformity assessment, not a certification and not an audit opinion. It does not say that any law, regulation or standard is met.
  • Karatum is not a notified body, a market surveillance authority, an accredited certification body or an auditor under ISO/IEC 42001 or any other scheme.
  • The control matrix shows which Karatum measurement bears on which requirement of the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF 1.0 and ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A, and what that measurement leaves out. Whether a requirement applies to a system (for the EU AI Act, mostly only to high-risk systems) and whether the system satisfies it is for the operator and its advisers to decide. Framework wording is paraphrased; use the official texts. Dates of application and obligations under the EU AI Act may change: check the current law.
  • Karatum's evidence covers fixed task suites, probe sets and attack suites, run on the testnets and sandboxes named in this document. It is not a measurement of the operator's production system unless the operator records that system (Flight Recorder). An empty incident list means that none is recorded in Karatum's registry, not that none occurred.
  • Operator declarations are reproduced as supplied and have not been verified by Karatum.
  • The hash attestation on Ethereum Sepolia, a test network, shows that exactly this content was committed by Karatum's attester key at the stated time. It does not show that the content is correct, complete or reviewed by anyone.
