EU AI Act Readiness Check — Remote Native
01 · WHAT'S INSIDE

The regulation, decoded.
Three things you'll leave with.

01

Risk classification

Understand how the EU AI Act classifies AI systems — unacceptable, high-risk, limited, and minimal risk — and where your current tools likely fall.

  • The four-tier risk pyramid
  • Which AI use cases trigger obligations
  • How to classify your own systems
02

Compliance timeline

Key deadlines from February 2025 to August 2027. Which obligations apply when — and what mid-market companies should prioritize first.

  • Prohibited practices (Feb 2025)
  • GPAI rules & AI literacy (Aug 2025)
  • High-risk system requirements (Aug 2027)
03

Readiness checklist

A practical self-assessment for companies with 50–500 employees. No legal jargon — just the steps your operations team can start this week.

  • AI inventory & risk mapping
  • Governance & documentation gaps
  • Vendor compliance requirements

Who it's for.
And who it isn't.

Built for

  • CEOs, COOs, and operations leaders at DACH mid-market companies (50–500 employees) who use AI but haven't mapped their regulatory exposure yet.
  • You know the EU AI Act exists but you're not sure what it means for your specific tools and workflows.
  • You'd rather spend 30 minutes with a checklist than 3 hours with a lawyer — and know when you actually need the lawyer.

Probably not for you

  • ·Enterprise companies with dedicated legal & compliance teams. You likely need deeper, company-specific counsel.
  • ·AI vendors and tool builders. The ebook covers the deployer perspective, not the provider side.
  • ·Companies outside the EU/EEA. The regulation applies to the EU market.
