contents Generalised Parton Distributions (GPDs) provide multidimensional insight into hadron structure and are particularly relevant for the pion, whose dynamics are intimately linked to chiral symmetry breaking. We introduce a novel modelling strategy for pion GPDs that satisfies all QCD constraints by construction: support, polynomiality, positivity, and the soft-pion theorem. The approach is illustrated with a simple algebraic model, which is evolved and used to compute deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) Compton Form Factors at next-to-leading order. Our results indicate that gluons dominate the pion response at the Electron Ion Collider kinematics.
