White paper for Founders
The obligations arrive before the customers.
What applies from day one, why the supplier questionnaire is the real test, and how to get ten licences for free.

The problem this is about
There is no de-minimis threshold for the obligation, only for the attention. All three duties arise from an action, having customers, using AI, hiring someone, not from a size.
The moment rarely comes from a regulator. It comes with the first customer large enough to send a supplier questionnaire.

What is inside
- The three duties that apply from day one: with legal basis and cadence
- The supplier questionnaire: what is asked, and what a missing record costs
- The startup programme: ten licences, twelve months, zero euros
- Five criteria: we verify two in the register, you declare three
