TRACE Readiness Assessment
For organisations preparing for the AI Act's high-risk duties or an FCA s.166 review, or sizing their gap before committing to a programme.
- Triage
- Every AI system in scope, shadow deployments included.
- Rate
- Each system against the AI Act and the regimes it overlaps: UK GDPR, FCA Consumer Duty, DORA, MHRA, NIS2, using our regulatory map.
- Architect
- A gap report and a roadmap with named owners, sequenced against your deadlines.
What you get
- A documented AI inventory in a format you can maintain.
- A risk classification for every system, with the reasoning recorded.
- A gap report against the regimes you're exposed to.
- A 6–12 month roadmap with sequenced workstreams, dependencies, and rough internal effort estimates.
- A board-ready summary deck.
What you don't get
- Implementation.
- The Readiness Assessment ends with the roadmap.
- If you want us to execute against it, that's the Implementation Programme, scoped separately.
- You can also execute internally or with another partner; the deliverables are designed to be portable.
Who it isn't for
- Organisations with fewer than 10 AI systems in production.
- Organisations without an existing compliance or risk function to receive and operate the output.
- Organisations looking for an audit certificate; this is a readiness assessment, not a conformity assessment.
