A practical buying guide
Choose the support your AI decisions actually need.
EU AI Fit is an AI governance and EU AI Act readiness workspace. It connects system records, exposure reviews, evidence, training and follow-up work. It suits teams that need to explain what they use, who is responsible and what supports their decisions.

Start with the work, then choose the tool
A small register with infrequent changes
A spreadsheet may be sufficient initially if someone owns it, controls access and keeps the evidence links current.
Several people reviewing systems and evidence
A shared workspace helps connect the inventory, decisions, owners, actions and retained evidence.
Uncertainty about a legal role or classification
Specialist advice may be needed. Software can organise the facts and record the decision, but does not replace that professional judgement.
Model testing or continuous technical monitoring
Check the tools you need for evaluation, runtime monitoring and security separately. Do not assume a governance record performs those technical tests.
What your team can work through
Begin with an AI inventory. Record the actual use, review exposure and responsibilities, and assign the evidence work. The workspace brings actions back to named people and keeps the review history with the system.
Supplier assurance connects vendor responses to a review decision. AI literacy and system briefings connect staff learning to their roles and operating context. Buyer assurance helps present the maintained record for customer scrutiny.
In this scenario
A support assistant is about to reach customers
A software team has tested an assistant internally. Before launch, procurement needs supplier evidence, the service manager needs clear human hand-off instructions, and staff need a briefing on permitted use. The team records these as separate responsibilities against the same system.
During the pilot, ask the team to demonstrate the whole path: identify a missing supplier document, assign an owner, record the response and review decision, then show how the operating briefing and buyer report reflect the current position. That is a more useful acceptance test than counting dashboard tiles.
Agree the scope before paying
The public exposure check is free and does not require an account. Paid readiness and adviser engagements are offered through pilots. Use the current pricing page for published options, then confirm systems, seats, storage, support, deliverables and access duration in the agreed terms.
- Ask who supplies professional review and whether it is included in your engagement.
- Agree which evidence is uploaded, referenced or held in customer-controlled storage.
- Test the reports and exports you will need before accepting the pilot outcome.
- Confirm what happens to access, retained records and ongoing support when the pilot ends.
What a completed record does—and does not—prove
A completed workflow records the work and approvals entered into it. It does not independently establish that every answer is correct, certify legal compliance or certify an ISO management system. Training completion shows a learning record; it does not by itself establish competence in every operating situation.
Ask to see evidence provenance, unresolved gaps and review scope alongside any readiness summary. Where independent judgement is needed, use the specialist-review workflow and agree the reviewer’s remit.
