An evidence-first implementation checklist across Chapters II-VI.
Use this to drive delivery: scope decisions, contracts, access workflows, cloud switching, and B2G readiness.

Use this checklist to run EU Data Act implementation like a delivery program. It's organized by chapter and by the workstream that actually owns the outcome (product/engineering/security/legal/procurement/finance). The goal is not to "be compliant in theory"-it's to ship workflows, contract terms, and evidence that stand up in disputes and audits.
Start with a scope memo per product line and per contract type. If you don't define the dataset and the data holder, you will build the wrong workflow.
Make ownership explicit: most failures are cross-functional gaps.
Chapter II is the user-facing layer: transparency before purchase and an operational access/portability workflow (direct or indirect access).
Treat this as a product feature with security and audit trails.
For B2B sharing, the contract must be executable. Scope disputes and trade secrets are the common failure points.
Build repeatable packaging: dataset manifest, confidentiality protocol, and billing mechanics.
Article 13 can make unilaterally imposed unfair terms non binding. Treat this as a contract hygiene project, especially for click through B2B terms and platform contracts.
Document negotiation for key terms to reduce "unilaterally imposed" exposure.
Chapter V is rare but urgent when it happens. Build a triage workflow now: exceptional need validation, minimisation, safeguards, and compensation logic.
Treat each request as a case file with immutable logs.
Chapter VI is both compliance and procurement. Providers must remove switching obstacles; customers should require proof before renewing contracts.
Treat it as a controlled exit plan per service type.
EU Data Act compliance becomes an evidence problem under pressure: a dispute with a counterparty, a regulator inquiry, or a procurement request.
Keep the minimum pack ready and current.
