AI Act Readiness Programme

A named advisor, not a last quarter scramble.

Quarterly posture reviews, classification and documentation kept current as your systems change, and a rolling AI literacy programme under Article 4. The obligation has applied since February 2025 and national authorities began supervising in August 2026.

The problem

A classification is only true on the day it is written.

Organisations treat AI Act readiness as a project with an end. It is not one. You add a vendor, a vendor adds a feature, a team adopts an assistant, and the inventory you paid for last year quietly stops describing the company it was written about.

The deadline that matters is 2 December 2027. The expensive way to meet it is to start in the autumn of 2027, when every organisation like yours is looking for the same help from the same small pool of people.

What the retainer covers

A

Quarterly posture reviews

What changed, what it changed about your position, and what to do before the next review.

B

Maintained documentation

The inventory and the classification kept current, so what you hold is describing the company as it is now.

C

Rolling literacy sessions

Article 4 asks for a sufficient level of AI literacy on an ongoing basis, not a one-off induction. New starters included.

D

A named advisor

Me, reachable between reviews, for the decisions that arrive without waiting for a quarter to end.

E

An audit trail

A record of what you decided and when, which is most of what being able to demonstrate readiness actually means.

How it runs

Monthly retainer, running to December 2027. Usually opened by the position and roadmap.

01

The opening position

Normally the position and roadmap engagement, which produces the inventory everything afterwards maintains.

02

The quarterly rhythm

A review each quarter against what actually changed in your systems, rather than against a generic checklist.

03

Literacy, rolling

Sessions across the year for the teams that need them, recorded so attendance is demonstrable.

04

Between reviews

The vendor question, the new tool, the thing procurement is about to sign. Answered when it comes up.

What sits behind it

No AI Act engagement is published here yet. The regulated delivery behind it is.

What it costs

EUR 3,500 to 5,000 per month

Retainer, running to December 2027

A monthly range, set by how much is running.

Where you sit depends on how many systems there are to maintain and how many teams need literacy sessions, and it is agreed before the first month rather than reassessed quietly later.

It is a retainer, not a licence. If your posture stabilises and the reviews stop finding anything, that is a reason to reduce it, and I will say so rather than let it run.

Fit

For organisations whose systems keep changing.

This earns its cost when AI is arriving continuously, through vendors as much as through your own projects, and someone has to keep the picture current between now and December 2027.

If your AI footprint is small and static, a position and roadmap you maintain yourself is the honest recommendation, and it costs a fraction of this.

Common questions

Is this legal advice?
No. I advise on implementation, documentation and literacy, and I am not a substitute for legal counsel on interpretation.
Can we start without the position and roadmap?
Rarely well. The retainer maintains an inventory, so there has to be one. Where a usable inventory already exists, we can start from it.
What happens after December 2027?
The obligations do not stop, so most of this continues in some form. We would agree that nearer the time rather than assume it now.
Do the literacy sessions count for Article 4?
They are built to contribute to it and attendance is recorded. There is no certification for AI literacy, so anyone promising you one is selling something that does not exist.

The question is no longer whether to start. It is whether you would rather start now or in the queue.
