Reading the record
What each section of the output is for.
The DPIA starter has four parts, each answering a different question about the processing you described.
The readiness call
Whether the described processing is likely to require a DPIA, stated plainly with the themes cited — Art. 26(9) on the AI side, GDPR 35 on the privacy side.
The themes
Starter themes for the assessment: what the processing does, what data it needs, and what the risk picture looks like before you write it up.
The special-category flags
Where the facts point at special categories or automated decisions — the flags that raise the bar on the assessment itself.
The record
The exportable starter: processing facts, themes, flags, and date. It is the first page of the assessment file, before the DPO's work begins.
