One-Liner
A PLD-evidence export connector sitting on top of Sentry/Datadog that extracts runtime state at the moment of a software defect in court-admissible format for EU non-AI software vendors.
AI Thinking Process
WHO: CTO/VP Engineering at 50-500 person EU software company. PLD transposition 2026-12-09 brings AI + software defects into strict-liability scope. No court-admissible decision-provenance trail exists.
Historical duplicate detected: T5 PLD Evidence Vault from 20260417-1806-painpoint covers same WHO + regulation + artifact at 57% conviction. Pivot to non-AI software vendors (the 80% not using AI).
Deterministic-software defect provenance recorder: captures runtime state at defect moment + connects to commit history + test coverage. Sells to ANY EU software vendor, not just AI shops. Different product.
Sentry, Datadog, Honeycomb, Dynatrace already capture runtime state. Bugsnag, Rollbar. 'Court-admissible' framing IS missing — but gap to court-admissible may be narrower for deterministic software.
G125: Sentry can ship a PLD Evidence Mode in two sprints. Datadog likewise. Pivot's defensibility is thin. Kill confirmed.
Kill Reason
The AI-specific form (T5 from 20260417-1806-painpoint session, 57% conviction) already exists in idea history. The pivot to non-AI software broadens the TAM but collapses the defensibility: Sentry already publishes compliance documentation and could ship a 'PLD Evidence Mode' in two engineering sprints. A connector layer plus legal templates is not a defensible product.
