Conformity assessment becomes relevant when an AI system may fall into a high-risk category or require formal evidence of controls, documentation, oversight and risk management.
Operational information, not legal advice.
Obligation evidence map
Obligation
Identify which obligation, control area or governance requirement is triggered.
Evidence
Define which document, record, process proof or artifact must support the claim.
Owner
Assign the team or role responsible for keeping the evidence current.
Review point
Set the point where evidence must be reviewed before implementation continues.
Strategic answer
Conformity assessment is not the first operational step for every AI project. A company should first determine whether the system is in scope, whether high-risk logic may apply, and whether the current evidence base can support deeper review.
