Need enterprise or team assessments?
Multi-team rollouts, dedicated support, and compliance documentation for regulators.
What We Measure
We assess six areas. Each one maps directly to what Article 4 requires.
Deployment Competence
Do people understand what AI is, what it can do, and what risks it carries? Deployment competence is the foundation of compliance.
Policy & Data Protection
Are there clear policies for AI use, data handling, and privacy? This pillar covers governance frameworks and GDPR alignment.
Training
Is AI training structured, role-appropriate, and ongoing? Article 4 requires 'sufficient' competence — training is how you build it.
Tools
Which AI tools are in use, and are they deployed responsibly? This pillar assesses tool selection, configuration, and oversight.
Evidence
Can you prove compliance if asked? Evidence covers documentation, audit trails, and the ability to demonstrate competence to regulators.
Governance
Who is responsible for AI within the organisation? Governance covers roles, accountability structures, and decision-making processes.
Enterprise AI Competence Programme
Large consultancies charge €50–150K for AI readiness assessments. Our Charter Cohort programme delivers the same depth — department-level assessment, vendor verification, board-ready reporting — built on an open standard that maps directly to Article 4. Fifty organisations receive full executive access, direct engagement with our team, and benchmark positioning against peers across Europe. Charter status is permanent.
By application. Organisations with 50+ employees deploying AI broadly across the business.
Built on Regulation, Not Marketing
“Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff.”
EU AI Act, Article 4
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689
“AI literacy should be understood as the skills, knowledge and understanding that allow providers, deployers and affected persons to make an informed deployment of AI systems.”
EU AI Act, Recital 20
Official guidance on Article 4 scope
“The TwinLadder Standard maps every assessment question directly to Article 4 requirements. No question exists without a regulatory basis.”

Common Questions
What is Article 4 of the EU AI Act?
Article 4 requires every organisation that deploys or provides AI systems to ensure 'sufficient AI literacy' among staff involved in AI operations. It has been enforceable since 2 February 2025. Unlike most AI Act provisions that target high-risk systems, Article 4 applies to all AI use — including everyday tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or AI-powered recruitment software.
How is my data handled?
Your assessment data is processed under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) — contractual necessity. We store your responses to generate your report and, for Charter Cohort members, to build anonymised benchmarks. We never sell individual data. You can request deletion at any time under your DSAR rights. Full details in our privacy policy.
What is the difference between the tiers?
The free Quick Scan profiles your risk and gives you an instant score. The Standard Report (€490) maps your full risk surface — how broadly AI is used, which tools and vendors are involved, whether your SOPs are fit for AI, and where the gaps are. The Executive Report (€990) adds evidence validation, shadow AI detection, a board-ready narrative, and a 90-day roadmap. All assessments are risk-adjusted — Alma only asks what is relevant to your organisation.
How long does the assessment take?
The free Quick Scan takes about 10 minutes. The Standard and Executive assessments take 20–30 minutes. The assessment is risk-adjusted — Alma adapts the questions to your profile, so you are never asked anything irrelevant. You can save progress and return at any time.
Can I upgrade after starting with the free tier?
Yes. If you start with the Quick Scan and want deeper analysis, you can upgrade to Standard or Executive at any time. Your existing data carries forward — you won't need to start over.
What makes this different from a generic AI maturity assessment?
Most AI maturity frameworks assess technical capability. TwinLadder assesses regulatory competence — specifically what Article 4 requires. Every question maps to one of six compliance pillars. The scoring produces a compliance floor position, not just a maturity level. The methodology is open-source (CC BY-SA 4.0) and independently verifiable.
