One-Liner
A middleware tool that forces smart heating system vendors to share building energy data with property owners who have a legal right to it under the EU Data Act.
AI Thinking Process
EU Data Act (effective September 2025) grants users the right to access data from connected products. Smart heating systems are connected products. Property owners in Berlin have a legal right to their building's energy data but no tool to exercise it.
Middleware that enforces EU Data Act data access rights against heating system vendors (Viessmann, Bosch, Vaillant) who lock data in proprietary platforms.
G056 Template Offspring fires: identical mechanism to Auto Repair Vehicle Data Bridge (20260321-painpoint, WARM 7.3). Same pattern: data holder has locked data, regulation creates access right, no tool to exercise it, startup fills gap. Customer and vertical differ but product architecture is identical.
KILLED — template offspring. Secondary market for the Auto Repair Data Bridge company, not a new startup.
Resurrection check: EU Data Act Building Energy Data. Kill classified as FUNDAMENTAL — mechanism is identical (enforce data access rights against reluctant manufacturer). Changing the vertical doesn't change the product architecture.
RESURRECTION FAILED — tried different vertical (energy vs. automotive), reason: same product architecture. Same company should serve both verticals, not a new startup opportunity.
Kill Reason
Template offspring of the Auto Repair Vehicle Data Bridge (20260321-painpoint, WARM 7.3). Identical product architecture — enforce data access rights against a reluctant manufacturer — applied to a different customer and different vertical. Same company would serve both verticals, not two separate startups.

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.
