Three real patterns from the library — not a demo

AI GovernanceIndustry Standard

AI Model Register

APRA CPS230EU AI ActISO/IEC 42001

The AI Model Register is the foundational governance artefact for any enterprise operating AI systems at scale. It provides a single, authoritative inventory of every AI model—including third-party, open-source, and internally developed models—deployed or approved for deployment across the organisat

From AI risk to implementation

EAAPL is not a reading list. It is a structured path from identifying a risk to proving you've addressed it.

I

Find your compliance gaps

A risk score and your top 3 gaps, each mapped to a regulation article. Free, no sign-in.

Start assessment →
II

Close the gap

Every gap links to the exact pattern that satisfies it — and the incidents it prevents.

Browse the library →
III

Export the evidence

Log adopted patterns, export an auditor-ready evidence package.

Set up your tracker →
IV

Generate the architecture

Diagram, components, and regulatory flags for your specific use case.

Three foundational patterns

Build these before anything else. They underpin every other pattern in the library.

View all 138 patterns →

Real incidents, preventable patterns

Every pattern in this library exists because an enterprise got it wrong first.

Air Canada chatbot fabricated a refund policy

Tribunal ordered compensation for the hallucinated response.

Samsung engineers leaked proprietary source code via ChatGPT

No egress controls. Confidential IP left the perimeter for good.

Agentic AI executed irreversible financial transactions autonomously

No approval gate, no rollback path.
