One-Liner

A compliance service helping Brazilian cocoa exporters meet EU Deforestation Regulation requirements — killed because the buyers who need compliance most are the ones least able to pay for it.

AI Thinking Process

EUDR compliance platform for Brazilian cocoa. EU regulation requires deforestation-free supply chain proof by 2025.

Who pays? Large exporters have teams. Small cooperatives have no budget. Mid-market is very thin. The 'compliance' need is real but the ability to pay is concentrated in the large companies that already solved it.

Killed: impact capital saturation. Real problem, wrong buyer economics.

Kill Reason

EUDR compliance services for Brazilian agricultural exporters face an impact capital saturation problem: the companies that most need the service are small cooperatives with no technology budget. The large exporters either have in-house compliance teams or are served by big agri-consultancies. The mid-market gap doesn't have paying capacity at the price point needed to make the product viable.
