One-Liner

A service providing freelance copywriters and designers with formal documentation of income loss attributable to AI displacement, for career planning, legal evidence, or financial planning.

AI Thinking Process

Freelance copywriter pain: earnings dropped $8K→$3.2K/month, Ramp data confirms 25x AI substitution ratio, no way to document income loss attributable to AI displacement.

Payment mechanism analysis: freelancer can't pay (losing income), platforms have data internally (G006), legal demand doesn't exist yet (no class action filed), government/think tanks don't buy SaaS. G029 consumer formula: no transaction pricing event with downstream action.

Pivot: B2B legal evidence platform for plaintiff attorneys. Failed: no active AI displacement class action litigation, no demand signal.

KILLED: No viable payment mechanism. Real pain, no product. Learned: macro economic displacement is policy problem, not SaaS opportunity.

B2B legal pivot already attempted and failed in Pass 1. Kill is fundamental (no paying party exists). Confirmed.

Kill Reason

No viable payment mechanism. Freelancers are losing income and cannot afford new tools. Platforms already have displacement data internally (feature). Legal demand (class actions) doesn't exist yet. Transaction pricing at $29-49 has no repeat purchase.
