Article 50 transparency evidence for AI SaaS
From 2 August 2026, EU AI Act Article 50 requires covered AI providers and deployers to disclose AI interaction and mark certain generated or manipulated content. Small AI SaaS teams need a narrow implementation layer that adds disclosures, records machine-readable marking events, and exports evidence for counsel or customers without buying an enterprise governance suite.
Estimated MRR at 6 months
€4k-€10k MRR
Modeled from 20 to 40 customers reachable through consultants and direct founder outreach, paying €199 to €299 per month for evidence retention and exports. A smaller base of 10 to 15 consultant-managed accounts on €499 plans produces a similar range. This excludes one-time implementation revenue and assumes the deadline converts at least 5 percent of a tightly targeted list.

Why this matters
The compliance window is immediate. The European Commission published final transparency guidance and a voluntary code shortly before Article 50 becomes applicable on 2 August 2026. Horizontal AI governance platforms cover broad inventories and risk programs, but a small vendor shipping a chatbot, image tool, or synthetic-content workflow mainly needs one auditable loop: apply the right disclosure, log what was marked, preserve the policy version, and produce evidence on demand.
