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 influences pay, discipline, scheduling, promotions, or termination.
  • Employees may be monitored without meaningful transparency.
  • Emotion recognition, biometric signals, or surveillance may be involved.
  • Managers may treat automated scores as objective truth.

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 worker scoring 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 Worker transparency notice, 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.

  • Worker transparency notice
  • Human review and contestation path
  • Monitoring purpose limitation
  • Data governance and retention notes
  • Bias and impact review

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.
