EU AI ACT · READINESS ASSESSMENT · GOVERNED HUMAN REVIEW
DON'T ASK IF THE COMPANY IS READY. ASK IF THIS SYSTEM IS.
EU AI Act readiness becomes actionable when the review is tied to one real AI system, its role, evidence, gaps and current state. TA-14 separates free classification and continuing software access from a bounded human readiness examination that starts at $750.

CURRENT SOURCE ANCHOR
EUR-Lex · Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 · Current consolidated text
The Regulation assigns different duties according to operator role, system classification, use context and applicable provisions. A readiness assessment should preserve the factual and evidentiary basis for the system-level position rather than promise a universal compliance score.
Start with the actual system, role, use case and evidence boundary. The same regulation can produce different obligations for different actors and systems.
01
WHAT AI SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY BEING ASSESSED?
A meaningful readiness assessment starts with one identifiable system, version, intended purpose, deployment context and organizational relationship. Readiness cannot be established against an undefined portfolio.
02
WHAT ROLE AND REGULATORY ROUTE MAY APPLY?
Provider, deployer, importer, distributor, authorised representative, GPAI-provider and other positions carry different duties. Classification, prohibited-practice screening and high-risk pathways should be separated rather than blended.
03
WHAT CAN THE ORGANIZATION PROVE TODAY?
Readiness depends on evidence: technical documentation, risk records, instructions, logs, oversight, data governance, testing, notices, monitoring and other records relevant to the actual obligation set.
04
WHAT IS MISSING, STALE OR UNRESOLVED?
A useful assessment makes uncertainty visible. Missing evidence, stale assumptions, unresolved role questions and material system changes should remain explicit instead of being converted into a false pass/fail answer.
THE TA-14 OPERATING ROUTE
Turn the question into a governed record.
The goal is not merely to reach an answer. It is to preserve what facts, evidence, scope and limitations supported that answer at that time.
01
Define the bounded review question
Identify the system, intended purpose, organizational role, EU exposure and the decision the organization needs the assessment to support.
02
Map likely obligations to current evidence
Compare the applicable or potentially applicable requirements with the evidence, controls, accountable owners and source material available today.
03
Separate supported positions from gaps
Record what is supported, conditional, missing, stale or outside the review scope so the output can be relied upon only within its actual boundary.
04
Return next evidence actions and revalidation triggers
Identify what needs to be created, repaired, escalated or re-examined, including the changes that would make the current readiness position stale.

Keep a living system-level evidence record with obligations, gaps, versions and revalidation state.
Use the free classifier to establish the system, intended purpose, possible actor role, EU exposure and unresolved facts. When continuing evidence infrastructure is needed, paid access begins at $19 per month. Independent human readiness review remains a separate service.
It is a structured review of a defined AI system against the facts, roles, classification routes, obligations, evidence and unresolved gaps that may matter under the EU AI Act. It should not be confused with a generic checklist or automatic legal certification.
How much does the TA-14 governed readiness review cost?
The current starting fixed scope is $750 for one AI system. The intake is reviewed for scope before additional work is represented as accepted or underway.
What does the assessment examine?
The intake covers organization and system identity, intended purpose, EU exposure, declared role, current classification, possible risk path, available evidence, known gaps, material changes and the requested outcome.
Does the $750 review certify EU AI Act compliance?
No. The review is a bounded governed readiness examination. It is not legal advice, certification, CE marking, notified-body conformity assessment, regulatory approval or an automatic favorable finding.
Can we use the assessment if our evidence is incomplete?
Yes. Incomplete evidence is itself part of the readiness state. The purpose is to distinguish supported positions from gaps and unresolved reliance rather than requiring the organization to pretend everything is complete before review.
Should we classify the system before requesting a review?
That is often useful. TA-14 provides a free classifier so an organization can establish the system, intended purpose, possible role, EU exposure and unresolved facts before deciding whether a human readiness review is warranted.
