FAQ

Is this a notification workflow?

No. This is a lite intake register. Formal reportability assessment and authority notification workflows should be handled by qualified owners.

Why keep this lite on EU AI Compass?

The free version helps teams record first facts. Full incident response procedure, authority workflow, root-cause pack, and post-incident review should remain a paid implementation asset.
