Founder & AI Regulation and RegTech Analyst at Sprinkling Act.
BIO
Positioning
Sprinkling Act builds the pre-conformity layer for the EU AI Act: an independent, article-by-article position assessment centred on high-risk classification under Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. First in the chain, before the lawyer drafts, the auditor reviews, or the regulator asks. The firm delimits the position; it does not recommend.
Founded and operated by Lamar B. Shucrani, an AI regulation and market intelligence analyst based in Brussels, the firm documents a structural blind spot: most organizations deploying AI do not know they are deployers, and inherit cascading obligations under Articles 25, 26, and 27.
Its published work includes the EU AI Act Readiness Report (2026), a structured screening of 50 European AI companies (HealthTech, FinTech, HRTech, SaaS/industrial): 74% trigger high-risk classification and 96% show no public regulatory position. Every report is sealed by cryptographic timestamp (OpenTimestamps) and indexed on Zenodo, SSRN, and HAL, so it is independently verifiable and citable.
The method extends across regulated sectors: medical imaging and devices (MDR/IVDR × AI Act × MDCG), retail banking (DORA × Article 26), and human resources (Annex III §4). The firm has also contributed to public consultations on the classification guidelines (Articles 6 and 50).

OPEN INFRASTRUCTURE
Built 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.
