Risk signals to check

Use this page as a scenario-specific starting point. The prefilled checker turns these signals into the underlying EU AI Act questionnaire and keeps every answer editable.

  • The AI affects safety, availability, or essential operations.
  • Incorrect output may cause outages, damage, or safety incidents.
  • Operators may rely on automated alerts or recommendations.
  • Logging, monitoring, and incident response need documentation.

Launch review workflow

Treat the first result as a launch-readiness conversation, not a final legal answer. The practical goal is to make the use case, affected people, oversight route, and evidence trail visible before the product ships.

  1. Define the decision point

    Write down whether the system only assists with predictive maintenance or changes access, ranking, priority, pricing, eligibility, or review.

  2. Map affected people

    List who sees the output, who is affected by it, and whether the system is offered in the EU market or used for EU users.

  3. Check human oversight

    Decide where a trained person can review, override, explain, or stop the AI output before it creates a material impact.

  4. Collect launch evidence

    Start with Safety impact statement, then keep the risk result, key assumptions, reviewer notes, and user-facing disclosures together.

Documents to prepare

A useful first pass is not only a risk label. Teams should also collect the working notes that a reviewer, customer, investor, or internal launch owner will ask for.

  • Safety impact statement
  • Operational control boundary
  • Human oversight process
  • Incident response plan
  • Monitoring and logging plan

Run the scenario through the tool

The checker will prefill likely answers for this scenario, generate a preliminary risk result, and produce a practical report with recommended next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Is predictive maintenance always high-risk?

Not always. The key question is whether the AI affects critical infrastructure safety, reliability, or essential operations.

What should be tested before launch?

Test failure modes, operator handoff, incident escalation, and monitoring under realistic operational conditions.
