The EU AI Act is already enforceable.
Article 5 prohibitions, Article 4 literacy, and the general-purpose AI obligations have been in force since 2025. The high-risk tranche enters force on 2 August 2026 — about twelve weeks from today. Ansvar's fixed-scope readiness engagement gets you board-ready in six weeks.
The AI Act is already enforceable. You have weeks, not months.
Three tranches of the Regulation are already in force. The fourth — the one most enterprise teams associate with the AI Act — enters force on 2 August 2026.
- Feb 2025Article 5 prohibited practices in force
- Feb 2025Article 4 AI literacy in force
- Aug 2025General-purpose AI obligations in force
- Aug 2026High-risk system obligations (Articles 9–15, 26)
- Aug 2027High-risk under Annex I extended scope
A 4–6 week engagement, fixed scope, fixed price
Five stages from signed SOW to board-ready readout. About 18–22 hours of Ansvar senior-consultant time. About 6–8 hours of your own staff time.
We agree exactly what you're paying for
You complete a structured scoping form. We send back a fixed-price Statement of Work that names every system, every member state, and every out-of-scope item before any work begins.
- Customer-completes scoping form (Schedule B of the SOW)
- Up to 10 AI systems and EU + 1 member state included
- Out-of-scope items named upfront — FRIA, Annex IV, conformity assessment
Six board-ready deliverables, owned by you
Each deliverable is grounded in the actual legislation through the Ansvar gateway — no LLM-generated citations, no silent fallbacks. Senior-reviewer QA on every artefact.
Every AI system in scope, with metadata aligned to Annex VIII fields where applicable
Per-system classification against Articles 5, 6 + Annex III, 50, and 51, with citations to the underlying provisions
Per-obligation gaps for each high-risk and GPAI system, against the obligations applicable to your role
Article 4 readiness snapshot — already in force since 2025-02-02
One-page board-ready summary of findings and priorities
Prioritised remediation actions with effort estimates and ownership suggestions
One AI system, traced from inventory to roadmap
A fictional example, run through the same five stages a real engagement uses. Every Article number and CELEX identifier is real; only the company and system are invented.
Inventory
Week 1–2Acme Nordic AB is a private operator providing HR services under contract to Swedish kommuner and regioner — which places it inside Art. 27(1)(a)'s 'private operator providing public services' scope and is the legal basis for the FRIA obligation that surfaces in stage 03. It uses HR-Screen v2.1 to score job applicants before a recruiter reviews them. The system enters the inventory as one of seven AI systems Acme runs across HR, support, and quality control.
Classify
Week 2–3Four tests run against this system: Article 5 prohibited, Article 6 + Annex III high-risk, Article 50 transparency, Article 51 GPAI. HR-Screen returns HIGH-RISK on the second test.
- Article 6(2)32024R1689 §2:6EUR-Lex
- Annex III §4(a)32024R1689 Annex IIIEUR-Lex
- Recital 5732024R1689 §1:57EUR-Lex
- Article 5 (not a prohibited practice)
- Article 51 (not a general-purpose AI model)
Gap analysis
Week 3–4For each high-risk system, Article 26 walks the obligations applicable to your role as deployer. Four gaps surface for HR-Screen.
- Art. 26(2) human-oversight rolesPARTIALrole defined, no procedure
- Art. 26(9) DPIA before useMISSINGno DPIA on file
- Art. 26(7) worker informationMISSINGworkers not informed
- Art. 27 FRIA requiredREQUIREDprivate operator providing public services per Art. 27(1)(a); not yet performed
Roadmap
Week 5Each gap becomes a roadmap row. Effort estimates are first-pass; ownership is suggested, not imposed.
- Run DPIA (Art. 35 GDPR + AI Act Art. 26(9))DPO2 wkbefore 2 Aug 2026
- Brief works councilHR Dir + DPO1 wkbefore next reapproval

Grounded in the actual legislation, not generated
The Ansvar gateway retrieves the text of EU regulations directly from the EU Publications Office, with verifiable CELEX-level citation. The model does not invent articles or paragraph numbers. Senior-reviewer QA confirms every citation before the deliverable ships.
Citation grounding
Every cited article is retrieved through the gateway and verified against the EUR-Lex source URL. No silent fallback to model recall.
Multi-MCP enrichment
Five mandatory passes per citation-producing finding: AI Act primary regime, horizontal regimes (GDPR, NIS2, CSRD, sectoral), sector-regulator routing by NACE code, case-law validation, authority guidance.
Refusal discipline
When the corpus does not return a high-confidence answer, the deliverable says so. Unresolved items surface to your roadmap as known unknowns, not fabricated certainties.
Senior-reviewer QA
Every deliverable is signed off by a senior reviewer who did not run the engagement. Banned-words and citation-integrity checks run before the artefact leaves Ansvar.
The high-risk tranche enters force on 2 August 2026.
