AI assurance readiness self-check

Core yes / no / not-sure questions plus an optional industry selector. Each item cites an official page already used on this directory. This is a self-check, not a certification, audit or means of compliance.

1. Do you have a current inventory of AI systems under management?

NIST AI RMF Govern 1.6 expects mechanisms to inventory AI systems.

2. Do you operate an organizational AI management system, not only a product feature list?

ISO/IEC 42001 is an organizational AIMS standard. Certification is performed by independent certification bodies.

3. Will the system be placed on the EU market, or used in the Union, as a high-risk AI system?

EU AI Act Article 11 expects technical documentation drawn up before a high-risk system is placed on the market and kept up to date.

4. Is this an airborne or aircraft function that will need FAA or EASA engagement?

The FAA roadmap says project-specific issue papers and special conditions document the criteria. It is not a means of compliance by itself.

5. Are training, validation and test sets separate and independent, against a defined operational design domain?

EASA bases learning assurance on three separate and independent data sets. A complete ODD is a prerequisite to data-set quality.

6. Is this a weapon system under DoD Directive 3000.09, rather than an unarmed or non-weapon system?

3000.09 does not apply to unarmed platforms or autonomous systems that are not weapon systems. Do not treat every DoD AI buy as a 3000.09 review.

7. Can operators disengage or deactivate the deployed system if it shows unintended behavior?

DoD's Governable principle: ability to disengage or deactivate deployed systems that demonstrate unintended behavior.

8. Does the toolchain process, store or transmit FCI or CUI (including prompts, fine-tunes, embeddings or logs)?

DFARS 252.204-7021 requires a current CMMC status at the level the contracting officer specifies for systems that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI.

9. If this is NASA software under NPR 7150.2, do you treat AI/ML as software to which all SWEs apply?

SWEHB 7.25 states AI is implemented in software and governed by software development processes, and all NPR 7150.2 SWEs are applicable to AI/ML software.

10. Do you treat T&E products as documentation support rather than a certification or accreditation?

JATIC FAQ: use of the products will not currently provide any certification or accreditation. They may help document certain DoD processes such as Directive 3000.09.

Questions

Is this a certification or an audit?

No. It is a self-check. Each question cites an official page already used on this directory. It is not a means of compliance and not professional, engineering, certification or legal advice.

Do I have to give an email?

No. Results appear in the browser first. An email is optional if you want to save the result to a free account via a magic-link sign-in.

What stays free after I save?

The self-check, public summaries, tags and official links. Quoted evidence, coverage cells, kits and the briefing stay on Pro at $49 per month or $490 per year.
