I sit on both sides of a table most people keep apart: I build production AI systems, and I vet them. For investors, I run independent due diligence on AI companies before a round closes. For operators, I map real exposure under the EU AI Act by reading the primary text — not the headlines.
The value is the independent read: no product to upsell into the assessment. Twenty-plus years across regulated, cross-border environments. Based in Vienna.
An independent read on one AI company before you wire — or before your investor does. Tech reality vs pitch claims, the "AI moat" stress-test, team & build risk, data and evaluation discipline, EU AI Act exposure, and the red flags that survive a polished deck.
The 7 May omnibus did not delay the AI Act — it split it into four timelines. I re-derive yours against the amended text: prohibitions (live), GPAI (live since Aug 2025), transparency (still 2 August 2026), high-risk Annex III (now December 2027). Then classify your systems, score the gaps, and hand back a prioritised 30-day plan.
Most AI advice is sold by people who also sell the remediation — or who have never shipped the thing they're assessing. I do both jobs that are usually kept apart: I build production AI systems, and I vet them. Twenty-plus years across regulated, cross-border environments taught me where AI risk actually hides — in the eval suite and the org chart, not the slide. The independent read is the whole product. Nothing is being upsold to you underneath it.
