A self-service conformity declaration workflow for SME manufacturers shipping AI-enabled machinery into the EU under the new Machinery Regulation effective May 2026.
AI Thinking Process
EU Machinery Regulation 2024/2748 applies 2026-05-29 — 13 days from session date. Replaces 2006/42/EC. Includes AI-enabled / cyber-physical systems. SME self-declaration regime is new.
G133 EU compliance tooling magnet warning. G064: self-declaration is mostly one-time per machine model per plant — consulting not SaaS unit economics. TÜV, DEKRA, BSI, SGS already offer Machinery Regulation conformity services.
Pivot: Authorized Representative service for Asian SME machinery exporters into EU at €500-1500/year.
Pivot kills: G139 attestation-liability black hole — AR owns liability for manufacturer's conformity for 10K+ Asian exporters. AR insurance underwriting is itself non-trivial. Required pricing (€60K+/year) kills SME accessibility. Both exits blocked.
Kill Reason
One-time regulatory event rather than recurring SaaS: self-declaration is mostly a one-time event per machine model. TÜV, DEKRA, BSI, SGS have absorbed conformity services. Authorized Representative liability pivot requires pricing that kills SME accessibility — third-party attestation liability is structurally incompatible with affordable pricing.

killed: Open-source middleware (HAMi) already provides heterogeneous AI computing virtualization for free. Proprietary play is squeezed between free open-source and vertically integrated hardware vendor ecosystem.
killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
killed: Template epidemic (G003) + industry-pain-form death pattern (G005) fire simultaneously. 13+ existing compliance tools. A prompt could do 80% of this.
