How Veillo classifies a system
Every system in your register has a tier, and Veillo always shows how it got there. There are two routes, and they are kept deliberately separate.

Two routes to a tier
When you add a system, its tier comes from one of two places. The badge on the row tells you which.
- The counsel-reviewed catalog. For a known tool used in a known way, the answer is the same for everyone, so counsel reviews it once and you inherit it with the reasoning attached. These read counsel-reviewed, or catalog · pending review while the entry is still being signed off.
- An AI-assisted suggestion. For something new, a model proposes a starting tier. It is marked AI-assisted and a person confirms it. It never stands as your answer on its own.
The four tiers
Veillo uses the Act's own tiers, shown as a tag on every system.
Why the same tool can differ
A tier describes a use, not a product. The same tool can be minimal-risk in one part of your business and high-risk in another, which is why the register records what you use each tool for. Having the tool on its own does not set the tier. If you add a new use to an existing tool, add it as a separate use so each one is classified on its own terms.
The basis is always shown
You will never have to guess whether a tier is reviewed law or a suggestion. The badge on each system, and the reasoning beneath it, make the basis plain. High-risk and prohibited results always wait for a person to confirm them, so the system fails toward review rather than a silent wrong answer. To act on a flagged system, see confirm or reclassify a high-risk system.
Veillo is compliance tooling, not a law firm. Even counsel-reviewed content is general reference, not legal advice on your specific situation.
