In ten working days you will know exactly which of your AI systems the EU AI Act touches, what it demands of you and by when — in one register your board, your lawyers and your engineers can all work from.
Penalties scale to €35M or 7% of worldwide turnover. Most scale-ups cannot yet say which dates apply to them.
A law-firm memo is unusable by engineers. A technical audit is unusable by boards. Every Scan deliverable is written to be worked from by all three at once.
Every AI system you use or ship — bought, embedded or built, including shadow AI: in or out of scope, risk tier, operator role, applicable articles — each classification with its evidence.
One page. Your systems by risk tier and deadline. The artifact leadership keeps on the table.
The obligations that actually apply, what is missing today, and the size of each fix — S, M or L.
Sequenced against your product roadmap and both legal timelines, every action with a named owner and a month.
Sixty minutes with your leadership. Decisions logged live — the session ends with a documented next step, not impressions.
A check of whether you qualify for the simplified mid-cap compliance pathway, plus one free re-map within six months if the adopted law changes your classification.
| Phase | Activities | Elapsed time | Your time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Intake | Kickoff (60 min), questionnaire out, document request | Days 1–3 | ~2 h + questionnaire |
| 2 · Discovery | Two workshops — product/engineering and ops/compliance — plus questionnaire analysis | Days 4–7 | 2 × 90 min |
| 3 · Analysis | Classification, deadline mapping, gap sizing, draft registers | Days 8–12 | short follow-ups |
| 4 · Readout | Executive session, decision log, final delivery | Days 13–15 | 60 min |
Fully remote. The workshops are the only synchronous commitments, scheduled within normal working hours. No engineer is pulled from delivery; no war room, no month of interviews. Ten working days of our focused work, three weeks on your calendar.
For the standard Scan, 50–250 employees. Larger organisations and multi-product portfolios are quoted at the upper band after the free exposure check.
100% of the Scan fee is credited against an AI Readiness Audit or a fractional AI Transformation Lead retainer signed within 90 days. If the Scan leads somewhere, it was free.
The first three Scan clients receive the founding-client rate — a reduction of around 30% — in exchange for a written testimonial and an anonymised case study.
Named, capped at three, and it ends when the places are taken. A discount without a name, a reason and an end is not a discount we run.

The Scan does not provide legal advice and no deliverable will ever say "compliant". You receive exposure, gaps and actions — classifications prepared for planning, with every uncertain item explicitly flagged for review by your counsel or our partner law firm. That boundary is not a limitation of the offer; it is the reason all three of your audiences can act on it without a translation layer.
A decade-plus of delivery, operations and business analysis inside fintech, iGaming, insurance and regulated SaaS — including COO and Head of Operations roles. The Scan is run by someone who has sat on your side of the table: accountable for the roadmap, the regulator and the team at the same time.
ATENA sells transformation leadership, not technical implementation. Delivery tooling runs through vetted partner agencies; legal certainty runs through your counsel or our partner law firm. What stays with us is the part scale-ups actually lack: someone senior who owns the whole picture.
Five questions, a verbal verdict, no deck and no follow-up sequence. You leave knowing whether the AI Act is a 2026 problem, a 2027 problem, or not your problem — and whether the Scan is worth your money. Roughly half the companies we speak with do not need it yet, and we tell them so.
