Why teams use it

Frequently asked questions

Is this the actual AIA?

No. This is a readiness tool designed to help teams prepare before starting the AIA. It does not replace the formal Algorithmic Impact Assessment process.

Who should complete this?

It works best when completed by a cross-functional group, not one person in isolation. That means business, technical, legal, privacy, and program owners together.

What happens if we are not ready?

The self assessment helps you identify the gaps to fix before moving into the AIA. Most delays in AIA completion come from foundational work that was not done before the process began.
