SPRINKLING ACT
PRESS & MEDIA
Independent EU AI Act position assessment. Built in Brussels. Available for comment on regulatory developments, provider vs deployer distinctions, and compliance cost realities.
COMPANY SNAPSHOT
Sprinkling Act is an independent service that produces dated, article-mapped EU AI Act position assessments. It is not a law firm, not a certification body, not a Notified Body. It does not issue legal advice. It produces the structured artefact that comes before the lawyer, the auditor, or the regulator — the document that tells a company exactly where its AI system sits under Regulation 2024/1689, with a full audit trail.

FOUNDER
Solo founder operating Sprinkling Act from Brussels, Belgium. Dual background as an AI systems integrator and AI evaluation auditor — an intentional combination that grounds the scoring methodology in both how AI systems are actually built and how they should be assessed against regulatory text. Sprinkling Act was built on the premise that the EU AI Act needs a layer that sits before legal advice: a structured, independent, article-mapped position artefact that a lawyer, auditor, or regulator can build on rather than reinvent.
METHODOLOGY
Each assessment runs through six regulatory gates evaluated in sequence against the text of Regulation 2024/1689. Gates are irreversible — the first gate triggered determines the final classification.
AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT
Digital Omnibus on AI
Trilogue negotiations, proposed postponement of Annex III deadlines to December 2027, Annex I safety component deadlines to August 2028, the readiness gate mechanism.
Provider vs Deployer distinction
The single most misunderstood question SMEs ask: Am I a provider or a deployer? The cost implications (€20K vs €500K) and why the distinction drives compliance strategy.
Compliance cost realities for SMEs
The €300K figure from the press is a worst case for a specific actor type. Real cost distribution across deployer in-house (€0–3K), deployer with support (€20–50K), SME provider (€144–330K), regulated physical product (€400K+). CEPS 2021 grounded.
GPAI obligations and wrapper products
Art. 53-55 obligations on foundation model providers vs Art. 25 responsibilities when a downstream provider modifies a GPAI substantially. When does a GPT/Claude wrapper become a GPAI provider?
Self-certification vs Notified Body assessment
Art. 43 pathways — the difference between Annex VI (internal conformity assessment) and Annex VII (third-party). Why most Annex III SME systems can self-certify and what that implies for cost.
High-risk classification under Annex III
The 8 high-risk domains, Art. 6(3) exception criteria, the appliedAI Initiative 2023 study showing 40% of enterprise AI systems fall in the 'uncertain classification' zone.
