// Why ACF®

A normative framework, ready to use in class.

Single normative frame

Open standard, vendor-independent, translatable across 14 AI jurisdictions. One vocabulary your students will keep regardless of where they work next.

Rigorous methodology

Four principles, four autonomy levels, six maturity dimensions. Cases with named characters and precise legal references — no fluff.

Cross-cutting coverage

AI Act, GDPR, DORA, NIS2, ISO 42001 — one vocabulary for 25+ regulations. Your students don't learn a text, they learn to reason about AI governance.

Documented DDAO role

The DDAO role (Delegated Decision Agent Officer) is defined in the framework and instrumented by card ACF-12 (Agent Mandate) and simulation ACF-15.

// ACF® Toolkit Manual

A premium 130-page Manual.

The ACF® Toolkit Manual is not a card catalogue: it is illustrated doctrine — 4 principles, 4 autonomy levels, criticality, risk, maturity, DDAO role, pyramid emblem — a user's guide, the 17 cards in blank form, 13 of them also as a worked Lendari example, an FAQ, resources and a conclusion. Designed to serve as reference in lecture halls, tutorials and continuing education.

// Case studies

Cases with a name, a date and a legal article.

No "Company X wants to deploy an AI". Every case sets a named actor, a decision to take under a deadline and the applicable texts to mobilise. The full sets, by academic track, live in the Teacher Pack.

Named characters

Alice, DPO at TechFin SA — not "the company's DPO". The student reasons against an identified actor, with a precise mandate and a reporting line.

Precise legal references

GDPR art. 35 §3, AI Act art. 27, ISO 42001 §6.2.3 — every case points to the applicable texts. No "the regulation provides that…".

Bold-answer bonus

Counter-intuitive-but-argued answers are rewarded. The goal is to train lawyers and engineers able to defend a position, not to tick a checklist.

No fluff

Each case fits on 1 to 3 useful pages. No decorative intro — only the elements the student must qualify.

// 5 case sets by track (Teacher Pack)

The Teacher Pack contains cases calibrated by academic track, with matching model answers.

// Grading methodology

Grading remains a human teaching act.

« ACF® does not provide AI auto-grading of cases. Grading is the moment when the teacher transmits nuance, emerging case law and contextual judgement — none of which a model can replace. »

Auto-calculated Excel grading rubric (100 points · cohort synthesis · individual report)
Model answers available to vetted teachers
Quarterly meetings of ACF® teachers (community calendar)
Annual case refresh to track AI Act case law

Each format is documented with learning outcomes, prerequisites, student deliverables and the matching grading rubric.
