• Abstract: The EU AI Act positions regulation as part of the infrastructure for safe, trustworthy and market-ready innovation. Realising this ambition requires regulatory learning: the evidence generated during implementation must be translated into governance and legal knowledge that supports consistent interpretation, effective oversight, and adaptation as technologies evolve. Yet the actors who produce this evidence and those who rely on it operate in different professional worlds. This paper proposes MARLA (Map, Assess, Report, Learn, Adapt), a conceptual scaffold organising regulatory learning as a five-stage cycle centred on the implementation of legal requirements into socio-technical practices, situated at the Local, National and European levels of the AI Act's governance architecture. Deliberately non-prescriptive, MARLA gives technical and legal stakeholders a shared vocabulary in which each of the first three stages generates its own documentable form of regulatory learning. We illustrate the scaffold with two piloted case studies and a prospective National-to-European illustration.
