Why this matters right now

EU Regulation 2024/1689, Article 26 & 27: High-risk AI deployers must complete system inventories and formal risk assessments (FRIAs) by August 2, 2026. The proposed Omnibus delay failed April 28. Supervisory authorities may impose fines of up to €15 million or 3% of annual turnover for non-compliance. August 2 is your deadline. Most organisations have not completed an AI system inventory. Most have no FRIA in progress. This bundle provides the documented structure to fix that.

What's Inside

Five sheets, each doing a specific job. Open it this afternoon and have your inventory started by end of day.

Questions

The ones people ask before they buy.

Does this replace a lawyer or compliance consultant?

No. This gives you the structure, templates, and documentation frameworks. For complex legal interpretation — especially for High-Risk systems with unusual fact patterns — you still need qualified advice. But most SMEs can get 80% of the way there with this before involving a lawyer, which significantly reduces your legal bill.

Is the August 2026 deadline really still live?

Yes. Per EU Regulation 2024/1689, the August 2, 2026 deadline is legally binding. The Omnibus proposal to delay failed April 28. A follow-up trilogue is scheduled for May 13, but legal experts and governance professionals confirmed insufficient time for amendment passage before August 2. Plan for August 2.

What if I don't know which of my AI systems are High-Risk?

Sheet 4 (Annex III Quick Reference) explains the High-Risk categories in plain language. Sheet 1 (Inventory) has a dropdown classifier. If you use any AI in HR, recruitment, credit scoring, or critical infrastructure, you almost certainly have at least one High-Risk system.

Is this for providers or deployers?

Primarily deployers — organisations that use third-party AI systems in their operations. Per Article 26 of EU Regulation 2024/1689, if you've bought or licensed AI software and use it to make or assist in decisions about people, you are a deployer with mandatory compliance obligations. The templates address deployer requirements directly.

What format does this come in?

One Excel workbook (.xlsx — works in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice Calc) and a complete Notion OS template you can copy into your workspace, takes 2-3 minutes to set up in full.
