AIReadyChecks is a simple assessment tool designed to help teams think clearly about whether an AI system is likely to fall within the scope of modern AI and data regulations.

It’s built for early-stage decision-making, before legal reviews, audits, or formal compliance work begins.

Why this exists

AI regulation is moving quickly, and for many teams the hardest question isn’t how to comply — it’s whether compliance obligations apply at all.

We built AIReadyChecks to address that early uncertainty.

Instead of dense legal text or one-size-fits-all answers, the tool uses structured questions to surface likely regulatory relevance, highlight key risk factors, and point users toward sensible next steps.

The aim is clarity, not certainty and guidance, not legal advice.

What AIReadyChecks does

Asks a short set of structured questions about how an AI system is designed and used

  • Produces an indicative readiness score based on common regulatory triggers

  • Highlights whether frameworks such as the EU AI Act or GDPR are likely, unclear, or unlikely to apply

  • Generates a simple summary that can be shared internally

The assessment is intentionally high-level and designed for triage, not formal sign-off.

AIReadyChecks does not provide legal advice, regulatory determinations, or certification.

It does not replace legal counsel, formal risk assessments, or regulatory engagement.

The tool is designed to support early conversations and informed decision-making — particularly for founders, product teams, and innovation leads navigating AI regulation.

What it does not do

The best way to use AIReadyChecks is as a starting point.

Use the results to:

  • Identify whether deeper assessment may be needed

  • Prepare more focused questions for legal or compliance teams

  • Align internal stakeholders on potential regulatory exposure

Where obligations are likely, professional advice should always be sought.

How to use this tool responsibly

Who it’s for

AIReadyChecks is intended for:

  • Founders and early-stage teams exploring AI-enabled products

  • Internal innovation or R&D teams within larger organisations

  • Product, engineering, and data leaders who need early regulatory signal

  • Anyone asking: “Do we need to think about compliance yet?”

  • Uses structured inputs to reduce unnecessary exposure of sensitive ideas in free-form conversations

  • Fixed input schema aligned to regulatory trigger conditions

  • Explicit handling of unknowns and assumptions

Why not just ask an AI?

A note on intent

AIReadyChecks was built to reduce confusion, not create fear.

Regulation doesn’t have to be a blocker — but it does benefit from being understood early.
This tool exists to help teams take that first step with clarity and context.
