Maintain the DORA register of information across your EU/EEA entities, reconcile it against the contract, vendor and spend records as at the reference date, and hold the pack for the person who submits.
A contract is signed, and the agent opens an entry from the contract, vendor, spend and application records.
02
A counterparty resolves to one legal entity and one identifier, and the source lists are shown where they disagree.
Reason
03
An arrangement is mapped onto the templates prescribed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2956, field by field.
04
A reference date is fixed at 31 December of the preceding year, and the entry is drawn as at it, not at assembly.
05
A window opens: the CSSF ran a full 2026 collection while the FSMA ran only a limited update that same year.
Decide
06
A function is classified critical or important by a named owner, and the agent shows the contract set that attaches.
07
A subcontractor is recorded only where it underpins an ICT service supporting a critical or important function.
Out
08
A pack is assembled with its reconciliation exceptions attached, and held for the person who submits it.
09
Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.
→Product statement
The management body is accountable under Article 5 and a named person submits; a register filed with a gap is the entity's defective return.
Example workflow
One arrangement, contract to submission
AgentHuman
1Arrangement identifiedContract repository, vendor master, spend ledger or application inventory
2Facts assembledCounterparty identifiers, service description, function supported and locations, each with its source
3Entry draftedTemplate fields, supply-chain rank, gaps and confidence
4Controls appliedReference-date checks, identifier checks, subcontractor population rules and confidence threshold
No human action required
Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and nothing is submitted at any of them — the agent is reconciling, and the ICT risk lead's lane opens at the confidence gate.
5DecisionBranches at the confidence threshold
High confidence
Goes to the ICT risk lead to review.
Low confidence
Adds a legal and procurement read first.
ICT risk lead review
The entry is held with its sources, the fields it cannot fill and the confidence.

✓Assemble entries on the prescribed templates from your records.
✓Reconcile each entry against the internal source lists.
✓Draw the register as at the configured reference date.
✓Flag what an entry is missing, and hold it for the lead for the named owner.
Any write happens inside the boundaries agreed at implementation, never ahead of the submitter.

Example output
One arrangement, annotated
Few registers cleared every check in the ESAs' 2024 voluntary dry run — this is that layer.

As receivedTaken from the executed contract and the vendor master — nothing on this side is written by the agent.
A group-level entry-completeness figure is set by the functions with the simplest chains, while the critical ones carry the gaps. Nestack reports the incomplete-entry rate by function, not only in total.

Evidence-linked improvement
Each cycle closes with a new entry case
A cycle shuts when the incomplete entry is a case the next release has to catch. That suite is what the next register submitted is measured against.
Improvement cycle · five stagesSwitchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
01Detect
Incomplete entries rise in one function.
02Diagnose
The arrangement that supported a critical function and appeared in no register is traced back to one cause — a renewal nobody ever papered.
03Improve
The change is numbered on the way out, with the entries that revealed it.
04Verify
An entry case that has not cleared keeps the release parked until it does.
05Learn
It joins the suite for good, and the mapping rules are edited to match.
Learn → DetectThe return edge. The next detection runs against a suite one entry case longer.
