One-Liner

An emergency service helping marketing teams migrate workflows, templates, and data from dying AI SaaS tools to replacement platforms in 30-60 days.

AI Thinking Process

Marketing director pain: AI content tool shutting down in 60 days, needs to export templates, find alternative, migrate. Orphaned customers of 3,800 AI startup failures. This is different from AI Startup Salvage (20260319-crossdomain) — that served buyers of startup assets; this serves users of dying tools.

G006 feature test: SaaS management platforms (Zylo, Productiv, BetterCloud) could add migration alerts. But actual migration work is bespoke per tool pair. N² problem: each source×destination migration is different. This is consulting, not SaaS.

KILLED: Consulting not SaaS. N² migration pairs, no repeatable scalable process. Destination tools absorb migration natively (G006). Learned: distress signal is real but solution is category-specific native feature, not horizontal platform.

Single-category pivot: AI writing tool migrations. Failed — destination tools build 'import from competitor' natively. AI writing shutdown wave peaked. Kill confirmed fundamental.

Kill Reason

Consulting service, not SaaS. Each migration is bespoke per tool pair (source tool × destination tool = N² migrations). Cannot build repeatable, scalable product. Destination tools absorb migration as native feature (feature gravity well).
