## Why This Matters
Compliance isn't optional. The EU AI Act requires risk assessments, documentation, and continuous monitoring. Companies without frameworks face fines, legal liability, and loss of customer trust.
## The Cost of Inaction
A single compliance failure can cost €35M or 7% of global revenue. But the real cost is lost business — enterprise customers require compliance documentation before they'll work with you.
