Gap map, priority, owner and timeline turn diagnostic findings into an implementation path.

Strategic answer

A readiness assessment turns EU AI Act uncertainty into prioritized action.

A readiness assessment helps a company understand where it stands before starting expensive implementation work. It should identify systems, EU exposure, company role, high-risk signals, documentation gaps and the first practical next steps.

Start with the EU AI Act Diagnostic, turn findings into an implementation plan, and see how the diagnostic works as a reference app on M13.

Exposure focus

What readiness should clarify

  • Which AI systems are relevant to EU AI Act readiness.
  • Where EU users, customers, outputs or market access create exposure.
  • Which role the company performs for each system.
  • Which gaps need near-term documentation, oversight or monitoring work.

First action

  1. 01Start with a diagnostic inventory.
  2. 02Separate low-exposure systems from high-priority review candidates.
