About Aurelion Consulting
Boutique AI governance and EU AI Act advisory, providing structured, defensible compliance frameworks for organisations operating high-risk AI systems.
At the Intersection of Technology, Policy, and Accountability
Aurelion Consulting focuses on AI risk assessment, governance design, and regulatory readiness for organisations operating in high-risk and regulated environments.
The firm operates at the intersection of technology, policy, and accountability, assisting organisations in understanding how AI systems interact with emerging regulatory frameworks—including the EU AI Act, UK AI governance principles, and international standards.
Engagements emphasise structured analysis, documentation, and governance clarity rather than automation tools or legal representation.
Aurelion Consulting supports responsible AI adoption by making risk visible, governance practical, and compliance planning actionable.

Governance Gaps Found
- No Article 13 (Transparency) compliance measures for end users

These scenarios are illustrative composites designed to demonstrate the type of analysis Aurelion Consulting provides. They do not represent specific client engagements and should not be interpreted as guarantees of outcomes. Each engagement is assessed on its own facts and circumstances.
