Evidence of intended purpose

Read instructions, marketing, design and actual planned use.

Do not rely on one contractual label.

In the workplace

A supplier cannot necessarily undo advertised selection functionality by calling it administrative support in small print.

Remember this

Document who controls changes in purpose.

The workplace case

YOUR CASE / HIGH-RISK CLASSIFICATION IN DEPTH

A supplier offers three education features: sorting uploaded files, recommending a learner's next course from performance data and evaluating exam answers. It claims all are preparatory because teachers can override them. A public institution plans to use the evaluation feature.

Quick reference / five key ideas

Evidence of intended purpose: Document who controls changes in purpose.
The Annex III match: Assess separate features where their effects differ.
The exception's core condition: A listed task condition must also be satisfied.
Narrow and preparatory tasks: A task that effectively determines the result is not harmless by label.
Completed human activity: Review must be substantive where the condition requires it.
