Lamar B. Shucrani.
Founder & AI Regulation and RegTech Analyst at Sprinkling Act.
BIO
What I do
I build the pre-conformity layer for the EU AI Act: an independent, article-by-article position assessment, built to hold up under enforcement. First in the chain, before the lawyer drafts, the auditor reviews, or the regulator asks. I delimit, I don't recommend.
AI regulation and market intelligence analyst based in Brussels, focused on how regulatory frameworks reshape real-world AI deployment and market dynamics.
Author of the EU AI Act Readiness Report (2026), a structured screening of 50 European AI companies that identifies a systemic classification gap in how organizations determine and operationalize their regulatory obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.
Research interests include AI system classification under the EU AI Act, the MDR × AI Act × MDCG 2025-6/9/10 layered architecture for medical AI manufacturers, deployer obligations and responsibility distribution across the AI value chain, regulatory asymmetries and downstream risk propagation, and the disconnect between governance frameworks and actual regulatory applicability.
Founder of Sprinkling Act, an independent pre-conformity advisory firm developing analyses and frameworks that reduce information asymmetry in AI regulation.

OPEN INFRASTRUCTURE
What I build, in the open
The methodology and the tooling are public, so any reader, reviewer, or downstream tool can audit the logic, not just trust it.
emeth-agent
Rule-based, no LLM · MIT
Generates signed, timestamped boundary attestations for the EU AI Act. Classifies a system's position against named gates (Art. 50, Art. 51, Annex III) as IN_SCOPE or UNDETERMINED, never as a compliance verdict. Emits a W3C Verifiable Credential, signed Ed25519 and timestamped via RFC 3161.
6-Gate Methodology
Framework · v1.3 · MIT
The six sequential regulatory gates that classify an AI system under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. Documented openly so the classification logic is reproducible and auditable.
