Your pricing model is high-risk under Annex III. The file has to prove it works.

Life and health pricing with AI is high-risk under the EU AI Act, and the obligations landed on 2 August 2026 — risk management, data governance, technical documentation, logging, human oversight. We build the governance layer around the models you already run.

The problem

The model shipped. The evidence did not.

  • Annex III caught pricing, not just chatbots

    Any system that scores or prices life and health cover for an identifiable person is high-risk. Most insurers found out after the model was live.

  • Nobody can reconstruct a decision from six months ago

    Article 12 wants logs that let you retrace an outcome. Notebooks and spreadsheets do not survive that question.

  • Human oversight exists on the slide, not in the workflow

    Article 14 asks who can override the model and how. In practice the underwriter sees a score with no way to disagree on the record.

  • Fairness is asserted, never measured

    Proxy discrimination in health pricing is the exposure that ends up in the press before it ends up in a fine.

How it works

Governance wrapped around the models you already have

Step 1

Map the perimeter

Inventory every model that touches pricing, selection or eligibility. Classify against Annex III and mark what is in scope.

Step 2

Instrument the decisions

Logging, lineage and fairness metrics on the live path — not a report someone assembles by hand each quarter.

Step 3

Put the file together

Technical documentation, risk management system and the oversight workflow, in a form an auditor and a regulator can both read.

The evidence is produced by the system, not written about it afterwards.

What's included

What you get when you run this with Thinkia

A governed pricing perimeter with the documentation, logs and oversight the Act asks for—built on the models you already run.

Annex III scope assessment

Model-by-model classification with the reasoning recorded, so the boundary holds when challenged.

Technical documentation set

Annex IV structure, generated from the system rather than transcribed into a template.

Decision logging and traceability

Retrace any pricing outcome to its inputs, model version and the person who reviewed it.

Fairness and drift monitoring

Proxy testing on protected characteristics, with thresholds that raise an alert instead of a quarterly surprise.

Human oversight in the workflow

The underwriter can override, and the override is part of the record — which is what Article 14 actually asks for.

Regulator-ready reporting

One place to answer a supervisor without a three-week fire drill.

Results

What changes when this runs in production

Results vary by context, data maturity, and scope. We scope honestly before we promise precisely.

<6 weeks

To a documented Annex III perimeter across pricing models

Orientative — confirmed in discovery; depends on the starting point.

100%

Of in-scope pricing decisions logged and retraceable

Orientative — confirmed in discovery; depends on the starting point.

Zero

Undocumented models left in the pricing path

Orientative — confirmed in discovery; depends on the starting point.

How we work

From first insight to production

Assess

Week 1–2

Inventory pricing models, classify against Annex III, and mark the gaps that matter.

Design

Week 3–5

Define logging, fairness metrics, oversight workflow and the documentation structure.

Build

Week 6–9

Instrument the live path, assemble the file, and rehearse the supervisor conversation.

Govern & scale

Week 10+

Extend to adjacent models, tune thresholds, and keep the file current as models change.

Timelines vary by scope and context.
