Stage 02 · Assess · AI MOT®

An MOT for your AI.

Your car gets an MOT every year. Your AI project deserves the same. Checkpoints at all ten ISO/IEC 8183 lifecycle stages, eight inspection items each, every one mapped to an ISO/IEC 42001 control. Pass, advisory or major defect: majors are fixed before the stamp is issued.

The business case

Why it matters to your business

Catch failures while they are cheap

The same snakes strike at the same stages; checkpoints turn them into course corrections, not write-offs.

Evidence anyone can trust

Bronze, Silver or Gold stamps for boards, buyers, insurers and regulators.

Mapped to what you will be judged against

Every inspection item tied to an ISO/IEC 42001 control and, where relevant, an EU AI Act obligation.

What it does

Know exactly where you stand.

01 Full AI inventory

What you are actually running, including the shadow AI your teams adopted without asking, mapped in one clear picture.

02 Risk and compliance posture

Every system scored against the EU AI Act, the standards that matter and your own policies, so exposure is visible early.

03 A fix list the board can read

A traffic-light report with prioritised actions, owners and effort, written for decision makers rather than engineers.

How it works

A health check, not a witch hunt.

Step 1

Discover

We map every AI system, tool and workflow in use across the organisation, official and unofficial.

Step 2

Test

Each system is examined for risk, compliance posture, data handling and real business value.

Step 3

Score

You get a clear traffic-light verdict per system, with the reasoning shown, not hidden.

Step 4

Fix and repeat

A prioritised fix list turns the verdict into action, and the MOT repeats on a cycle so you never drift.

The journey

One of six moves from confused to governed.
