EU AI Act Article 50 Compliance Kit

Article 50 of the EU AI Act imposes transparency obligations on every organization that deploys AI systems affecting EU residents — regardless of where the organization is headquartered. The obligations took effect February 2, 2025, and enforcement ramps through August 2025. Most compliance guidance available today is either legal commentary that stops before implementation or enterprise software that costs six figures and takes months to configure. Neither helps an operations leader who needs to determine scope, document systems, and demonstrate compliance within weeks. This kit closes that gap. Ten components, each addressing a specific compliance requirement: scope determination, user disclosure, policy documentation, system inventory, deployer obligations, vendor risk assessment, board reporting, implementation sequencing, record-keeping, and regulatory reference. Every template is editable. Every checklist is operational. The 15-day roadmap sequences the work so a compliance lead or operations director can move from "we haven't started" to "we can demonstrate compliance" in three weeks. Built from the operational governance patterns behind $500M–$600M in P&L oversight and governance-driven contract architecture that delivered 27% gross margin improvement — applied to the regulatory framework that will define AI deployment accountability for the next decade.
