A one-page gate to run for each AI feature before committing: name the feature and the data it touches, weigh the four drivers (usage volume, accuracy bar, data sensitivity, lock-in), convert every option to cost per learner per month, confirm the GDPR data processing agreement and no-training clause, account for EU AI Act high-risk duties, and wire a thin abstraction layer plus xAPI tracking.

Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This worksheet gates each learning-AI feature on usage volume, accuracy bar, data sensitivity and lock-in, then converts every option to cost per learner per month. We wrote seven volumes covering the whole video stack; start with Volume 7 for AI cost, serving and the EU AI Act, then Volume 3 for delivery, with Volume 1 for encoding. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
