The EU AI Act Readiness Kit.

It covers the 14 Articles in our guide, from risk management (Article 9) to post-market monitoring (Article 72): 72 evidence items, each with an owner, evidence location and target date. Plus an Annex IV documentation outline and a fundamental rights impact assessment template. Annex III high-risk obligations apply from 2 December 2027.

Classification record
The five questions from our applicability checker, with space for answers, notes and the result.
Evidence checklists
72 evidence items across Articles 9 to 15, 25, 26, 27, 50, 53, 55 and 72, each with an owner, evidence location and target date.
Annex IV documentation outline
The nine parts of Annex IV technical documentation, to map what you already have and what's missing.
Fundamental rights impact assessment
The Article 27 assessment for public-sector and essential-services deployers.
Next steps
Where to go from here, and how an engagement with MindMap runs.
The Article 14 checklist, as it appears in the kit
High-risk AI systems must be designed so a human can effectively oversee, understand, monitor, intervene, override, and choose not to use the system in any particular case.
| Evidence item | Done | Owner | Where the evidence lives | Target date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Documented oversight protocol per AI system | ||||
| Named reviewer roles with competence requirements | ||||
| Override authority captured in audit trail | ||||
| Automation-bias mitigation (e.g., randomised review samples) | ||||
| Two-person review where required by Annex III subcategory |
Every Article in the kit follows this format. Read the full explanation of any Article in the Article-by-Article guide.
For the people who own the answer to the regulator
Compliance and risk leads
Run the inventory, record a classification for every system and track an owner and target date against each evidence item.
CIOs and heads of AI
See which Articles apply to which systems, and which ones turn a deployer into a provider under Article 25.
Legal and data protection
Map existing system documentation to the Annex IV outline, and complete the Article 27 assessment where it applies.
The same guidance as the site, in a form you can fill in.
- ✓Built from the same Article-by-Article guidance as our EU AI Act pages, so the checklists match what you read on the site.
- ✓The classification record follows the five questions of our free applicability checker: scope, AI definition, GPAI, Annex III and the Article 25 trigger.
- ✓Every evidence item has room for an owner, where the evidence lives and a target date, so the kit doubles as your programme tracker.
- ✓Working templates to organise your evidence, not legal advice: check classifications and obligations with your legal and compliance teams.
