Part III: Drawing Your Landscape

The reader who has come this far can read a landscape. This part shows how to draw one. The claim of these five chapters is that most large organisations already hold the facts the notation needs, in registers they keep for other reasons: an inventory of AI systems kept for the AI Act, a list of what agents may do kept by the security function, a record of who decides kept by governance, a supplier register kept by procurement. Chapter 14 shows how those registers populate the landscape model, a small machine-readable file from which the renderer draws every view, so that the picture is produced, not drawn, and can be produced again next quarter. The chapters that follow teach the reader to read each of the remaining views: change over a year, supply and jurisdiction, decision rights and evidence.

The two illustrative organisations carry the part. Nordvik Region, a regional public authority in a Nordic member state of the European Union, and Hansa Mutual, a mutual insurance group headquartered in Germany with entities inside and outside the EU, are drawn through the year 2027 from the models in the repository. They are not data. They are there so that the reader can see what a landscape looks like when it is drawn from real registers, what changes in a year look like, and what two organisations with different legal settings, skills and suppliers look like side by side at the same scale.

Chapters in this part:

  • Chapter 14, The One-Page Landscape: Drawing It From What You Already Have, populates the landscape model from the registers an organisation already keeps and renders the one-page landscape, V1.
  • Chapter 15, The Landscape Over a Year: Reading Change, reads the time view, V2: trails between two dates, new and retired marks, drift between modes and levels, and the decay of reversibility within a year.
  • Chapter 16, Supply, Sovereignty and Jurisdiction: Where the Landscape Runs, reads the supply and sovereignty view, V3: the organisation's own boundary, suppliers by role, EU, EEA and non-EU jurisdictions, and model chips, without brands.
  • Chapter 17, Decision Rights and Evidence: Who Decides, and How We Know, reads the decision-rights view, V4, and the evidence view, V5: the seat and its tier per unit, the policy point, and whether the proof of control is automatic, attested or absent.
  • Chapter 18, A Year at Nordvik Region and Hansa Mutual: Two Landscapes Compared, follows both organisations through 2027 in V2 and compares them in V6, as illustration.

What you will carry out of this part:

  • A method for drawing your own organisation's landscape from what it already records
  • The reading of all six views
  • A year in the life of two landscapes, to measure your own against

Part IV collects the rules of thumb and applies them.
