Practical example: Combined approach
A financial services company with three high-risk AI systems uses a combined approach: initial risk classification and the free check via compliance software. For detailed technical documentation and risk management, the premium toolkit is used. For final legal assurance and the declaration of conformity, a law firm specialising in AI law is engaged. Result: 80% cost savings compared to a pure law firm solution.
