EU AI Act Readiness Triage

The EU AI Act applies extraterritorially to a wider range of organisations than many UK businesses initially realise, including those with AI systems available in the EU, those whose outputs are used in the EU, and those acting as providers, deployers, importers, or distributors under the Act's terminology.

What a readiness triage delivers

The triage is a focused assessment of which (if any) of the Act's regimes apply to a specific business (prohibited practices, high-risk systems, transparency obligations, GPAI obligations) and what the priority actions are.

The triage is sized to give a clear answer fast, rather than to produce an exhaustive compliance project. It is most useful for businesses at the 'do we need to worry about this' stage; the deeper compliance work follows from the triage if the triage shows it is needed.

Output is a clear written assessment of your obligations and recommended next steps.

Example: a typical scope and fixed fee

For a business assessing its EU AI Act exposure, the typical scope looks like this.

What's included

• A consultation to understand your AI systems and EU operations
• Assessment of EU AI Act applicability and risk classification
• Identification of applicable obligations and timelines
• A written readiness report with prioritised recommendations
• A follow-up call to discuss the findings

What's outside this scope

• Implementing recommended actions (I can quote separately)
• Detailed compliance work for high-risk systems
• Ongoing compliance monitoring
• Tax advice

Fixed fee: £650, no VAT.

How I will approach your matter

Once you have instructed me, I will arrange a consultation to understand your AI systems and EU operations before producing a written readiness report with prioritised recommendations. You will know where you stand and what to do next.
