Recommended sequence
- Run the Quick Checker if role or risk is unclear.
- Pick the evidence pack that matches your role and trigger event.
- Download the starter files before building a custom spreadsheet from scratch.
- Use the related browser tools to generate local-only triage notes.
- Escalate legal, standards, conformity, and sector-specific questions for qualified review.
What the packs are not
The evidence packs are not certification, a legal opinion, a full GRC platform, a notified-body file, or a guarantee of compliance. They are structured starting points for teams that need a usable evidence trail before deeper review.
FAQ
Are the evidence packs free?
Yes. The current EU AI Compass evidence packs are free starters. They are intended to help teams organise facts and evidence before deciding whether they need legal review, conformity support, or a paid implementation system.
Which pack should a deployer use first?
Most deployers should start with the Deployer Obligation Self-Assessment, AI System Inventory, Deployer Obligations Checklist, FRIA worksheet, Human Oversight Evidence Log, and Vendor Intake template.
Which pack should a provider use first?
Providers and accidental-provider candidates should start with the Provider Evidence Pack Lite, then work through technical documentation, post-market monitoring, conformity readiness, QMS readiness, declaration readiness, and incident reporting handoff.
