SPRINKLING ACT
PRESS & MEDIA
Independent analysis of AI-enabled workflows. Built in Brussels. Available for comment on regulatory developments, provider vs deployer distinctions, and compliance cost realities.
COMPANY SNAPSHOT
Sprinkling Act is an independent investigation practice based in Brussels. It examines one already AI-augmented workflow end to end and produces a dated written report in which every finding carries its evidence status: confirmed by the available elements, declared without an independent trace, a gap between the two, or an open question. It is not a law firm, not a certification body, not a Notified Body, and it does not issue legal advice.

FOUNDER
Solo founder operating Sprinkling Act from Brussels, Belgium. The work started on the building side, assembling AI systems and putting them to use, which is where the observation behind the method comes from: a tool ships with its functions, never with the perimeter of its use. Regulatory analysis came next, then the survey of the human work around AI chains, which is what the method is named after.
AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT
Digital Omnibus on AI
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744, in force 27 July 2026: 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.
QUOTABLE BOILERPLATE
“Sprinkling Act is an independent investigation practice based in Brussels. It examines one already AI-augmented workflow end to end and produces a dated written report in which every finding carries its evidence status. It does not issue legal advice or certifications. The model is client-funded only: no work is sold downstream of the report, which is what makes the independence verifiable rather than declared.”
