What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 6 follow-ups like an interviewer would

Leadership wants ISO/IEC 42001 certification in six months. The company already holds ISO/IEC 27001 and has three AI products.

  1. Is six months realistic?
  2. What happens in month one?
  3. What happens in months two to five?
  4. What are Stage 1 and Stage 2?
  5. What if the gap assessment shows a large gap?
  6. What plan would you present?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
