Stage 02 · Assess · AI MOT®

An MOT for your AI.
Wherever it drives.

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.

The inspection

What a certificate-grade check covers

Inventory

Every AI system in use, including the ones procurement never saw. You cannot govern what you have not counted.

Data rights

Whether you hold the documented legal right to the data behind each system, in each jurisdiction it touches.

Risk and bias

How each system behaves at the edges, who it could disadvantage, and whether anyone would notice.

Oversight

Whether meaningful human control exists in practice, not just in the policy document.

Regulatory posture

Where you stand against the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001, 8183 and 5259: the regimes and standards your buyers and regulators will measure you by.

The fix list

A prioritised, costed list of what to fix first, written for the board rather than the engine room.

Why recurring

AI drifts. So should your assurance, on schedule

Models retrain, vendors update, regulation moves and yesterday's pass becomes next quarter's exposure. The MOT re-runs on a cadence that suits your risk, so compliance is a state you maintain rather than a project you once did. Between checks, findings feed straight into Snakes & Ladders® for delivery and into Certifya™ when you need the proof on paper.
