Evidence expectations include clinical validation reports, incident response records, data provenance documentation across Clinical Ops, Compliance, IT teams.
Role obligations
Deployer execution model: Operate high-risk AI systems with documented human oversight Maintain operational logs and incident workflows Execute FRIA and downstream accountability requirements Priority duty reference: Article 26.

How quickly can we produce an audit pack?
A focused four-week pilot is typically enough to baseline two high-risk systems and deliver a traceability-ready pack.
