Who this is for
- Policy and methodology owners building collateral frameworks
- Risk and compliance teams preparing for EU AI Act and CRR3 implementation
- Valuation and credit risk functions aligning IVS workflow with credit files
- CTO and procurement teams evaluating collateral intelligence requirements
Papers
- EU AI Act Machinery Collateral Deployer Guide
- CRR Article 210 Equipment Collateral Monitoring
- IVS 300 Plant & Equipment Bank Implementation
- Basel IV and Equipment Collateral: Output Floor Implications
- Equipment Appraisal vs Collateral Intelligence for Lenders
- Excavator Depreciation Cohort Analysis for Collateral Risk
How research relates to guides
Each paper links to a knowledge section and individual guides with operational detail. Start with the pillar paper in your domain, then use section overviews and term-level guides for credit file and system design.
| Paper | Knowledge section |
|---|---|
| EU AI Act Machinery Collateral Deployer Guide | Regulatory & Compliance |
| CRR Article 210 Equipment Collateral Monitoring | CRR & Collateral Law |
| IVS 300 Plant & Equipment Bank Implementation | IVS Valuation Standards |
| Basel IV and Equipment Collateral | Basel Capital Reforms |
| Equipment Appraisal vs Collateral Intelligence | Machinery Evaluation |
| Excavator Depreciation Cohort Analysis | Residual Value & Liquidity |
Reading paths by role
| Role | Suggested path |
|---|---|
| Compliance / risk | EU AI Act deployer guide → Regulatory section → CRR paper |
| Collateral operations | CRR Article 210 paper → Collateral monitoring section |
| Valuation methodology | IVS 300 paper → IVS standards section |
| Capital / treasury | Basel IV paper → Basel reforms section |
| Leasing / remarketing | Excavator depreciation paper → Residual liquidity section |
Editorial standards
Papers are reviewed for institutional accuracy. Content is decision-support — not legal, tax or investment advice. See collateral intelligence overview for full editorial standards.
Using research in audit and policy
Risk, compliance and internal audit teams can use these papers as methodology references when drafting collateral policy, preparing for supervisory dialogue or scoping model risk reviews. Each paper links to operational guides with definitions, supervisory perspective and checklists — supporting end-to-end evidence from board policy to credit file sampling.
When updating policy after regulatory change (CRR3, Basel IV, EU AI Act 2026), start with the relevant pillar paper, map obligations to your equipment portfolio segments, then assign owners across credit, collateral operations and IT for implementation tracking.
