Near-term actions
- Lock November and December 2025 briefs by sourcing Commission implementing acts on AI conformity assessments and notified-body guidance so the pillar closes the remaining 2025 gaps. Coordinate sourcing with the policy watchlist owners.
- Refresh the metrics data nightly via
enrich_feed_metadata.pyso AI navigation panels surface the new January–June coverage. - Cross-link AI, Policy, and Data Strategy desks when obligations overlap (EU AI Act, Data Act portability) to keep stakeholders aware of parallel compliance deliverables.
