One-Liner
A service scoring the credibility and rigor of EU AI Act conformity assessment reports issued by notified bodies, sold to AI liability insurance underwriters who cannot otherwise evaluate whether a notified body performed a thorough or superficial assessment.
AI Thinking Process
Who verifies the verifiers? EU AI Act notified body credibility scoring for insurance underwriters — analogous to auditor track records in financial services
WHO: AI liability insurance underwriter at specialty E&O insurer. CURRENT: Receives conformity assessment certificates with no way to assess notified body rigor. WHY-SURPRISED: Insurance underwriters for all other regulated categories (construction, medical devices) have decades of notified body track records — for AI, no track record exists
Market size concern: only 50-200 high-risk AI systems assessed in 2026. At $5K-$10K per score = $250K-$2M total market. Too small for standalone product
Tried: bundling credibility scoring as module within AI underwriting platform. Failed — bundling makes it a feature of today's painpoint survivor, not a standalone product
POSITIONAL kill: market too thin. Timing pivot (2027-2028) exists but 'wait 2 years' is not actionable for a startup
Resurrection check: Kill was timing — market too thin. Is this FUNDAMENTAL or POSITIONAL?
Tried: timing pivot to 2027-2028 when volume grows, OR bundling as data feed in broader platform. Both failed — 2-year wait not actionable, bundling makes it a feature not a product
Kill Reason
Market is too thin at launch — only 50-200 high-risk AI systems will go through notified body assessment in 2026, representing $250K-$2M total market at best. Not viable as a standalone product.

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.
