the compliance deadline trap
EU AI Act enforcement is phased, and the penalty structure scales with company revenue rather than project budget. A high-risk system that ships without the required documentation and conformity assessment does not get a fine; it gets a percentage of global turnover.
Most organisations approach this with a consulting engagement: a nine-week discovery, a 200-page report, and a binder that is already stale by the time the next amendment publishes. The report answers the regulation as it read on day one, and nobody is paid to keep it correct.
obligations mapped to the system
Thorian maps each system’s capabilities and data flows to the EU AI Act’s article-level obligations. Annex III indicators use the system’s documented architecture; a change in intended purpose triggers a new classification. The gap analysis runs with engineering tests on each commit.
