Why do AI deals stall in due diligence?
The product may work, but the supplier cannot answer who owns the system, which model and subprocessors are involved, what customer data is used, how outputs are monitored or what happens after a material change. Answers are copied between spreadsheets and questionnaires, creating inconsistency and avoidable sales friction.
What does the AI Procurement Readiness Check do?
The free AI Procurement Readiness Check asks 11 questions across six evidence areas: inventory, role and risk, data and vendors, controls and oversight, framework alignment, and procurement response readiness. It generates a simple report to help a human identify where evidence is missing or weak.
It is a diagnostic starting point, not legal advice, certification or an automated compliance determination.
How does the governed workspace reduce repeated work?
The AI Act Ready platform keeps inventory, risk decisions, controls, evidence, actions and revision history together. Once information is approved, teams can maintain and reuse it for buyer diligence, security review, board reporting and management-system work.
The benefit is operational: fewer contradictory answers, clearer ownership and a visible route from a buyer question back to the evidence supporting the response.
What belongs in a buyer-ready evidence pack?

- Risk classification and decision rationale.
- Data, model, hosting and subprocessor information.
- Testing, monitoring and human-oversight evidence.
- Incident, complaint and change-management routes.
- Named owners, review dates and approved limitations.

How does the AI Act Ready platform reduce procurement friction?
It keeps reusable inventory, risk, control and evidence records together so approved information can be maintained and reused instead of rebuilt for every questionnaire.
What is the next practical step?
