Fixed-Scope Engagement
EU AI Act Readiness Review
14 weeks to the enforcement deadline. Here is what you do now.
A four-week engagement that delivers a complete picture of your AI exposure, your compliance gaps, and a roadmap for closing them — before August 2, 2026.
Engagements starting after 16 June cannot be guaranteed to complete before August 2
The August 2, 2026 deadline is fixed.
Enforcement begins the day the AI Office of Ireland opens. The window to act is now — not because of regulatory theatre, but because the timeline is real. Engagements starting after 16 June 2026 cannot be guaranteed to complete before the enforcement date.
The Programme
Four weeks. Four deliverables. Complete picture.
Every week of the engagement produces a discrete output. At the end of week four, you hold the full Action Pack — everything you need to demonstrate compliance readiness and begin remediation.
AI Systems Inventory
Every AI tool in use across your organisation, mapped by function and risk exposure.
Risk Classification
Which systems are high-risk under the Act, which are limited or minimal risk — and what obligations follow from each.
Compliance Gap Assessment
What is missing against your deployer obligations — human oversight, logging, bias assessment, transparency requirements.
Remediation Roadmap + Board Brief
A 90-day action plan prioritised by risk, with accountability assigned. One-page board note written for non-technical directors.
What You Receive

At the close of the engagement, you receive a complete set of documents — formatted for regulatory scrutiny, board presentation, and operational use.

- Compliance Gap Report — structured by obligation: human oversight, logging, bias assessment, transparency

Questions
Common questions
What does the EU AI Act Readiness Review cover?
The review is a fixed-scope, four-week engagement. Week one: a complete inventory of every AI system in use across your organisation, mapped by function and risk exposure. Week two: risk classification — identifying which systems are high-risk under the Act and which fall into limited or minimal risk categories. Week three: a compliance gap assessment against your deployer obligations under the Act, structured by obligation area. Week four: a 90-day remediation roadmap and a Board Briefing Note written for non-technical directors. You receive the full Action Pack at the close of week four.
How is this different from a legal compliance review?
Legal reviews tell you what the law says. This review tells you where your specific systems are exposed and what to do about it. We are not solicitors. We are operational advisors who have deployed and governed AI at enterprise scale — including across Microsoft Western Europe. The output is not a legal opinion; it is a practical action plan grounded in how AI is actually used inside organisations, not how vendors say it works. For organisations in regulated sectors, the two are complementary — not substitutes.
Which organisations need this?
Any Irish organisation using AI systems — which, in practice, is almost every organisation using modern HR software, CRM platforms, document management tools, or analytics systems. If you cannot immediately produce a complete inventory of the AI systems you are deploying and their risk classification under the Act, you need this review. The EU AI Act imposes obligations on deployers, not just developers. Ignorance of what is running in your organisation is not a defence.
Can you complete the review before August 2, 2026?
Yes — provided the engagement starts by 16 June 2026. The August 2 enforcement deadline is fixed. Engagements starting after 16 June cannot be guaranteed to complete before the enforcement date. If you are reading this after that date, contact us and we will advise on what is still achievable.
