One-Liner
A routing tool for EU AI startup founders to match their use case and headquarters to the right member-state regulatory sandbox for testing a high-risk AI system.
AI Thinking Process
WHO: AI startup founder wanting to test high-risk AI in EU sandbox. CURRENT: 2-6 weeks researching 27 different national sandbox documents, most nonexistent (16 silent member states as of April 2026).
Impossibility Negation: 'can't compare 27 sandboxes because they don't exist yet.' As of April 2026: 1 operational, 5 implementing, 4 declared, 16 silent. By 2026-08-02 all must launch. The sequence is the product.
G064 fires: selecting a sandbox is a one-time decision per AI product. r5 monetisation at risk.
Pivot 1: enterprise AI portfolio platform €25K/year. Killed: large enough firms hire Deloitte/BCG GAMMA.
Pivot 2: matching marketplace — sandboxes pay to appear. Killed: state agencies don't have commercial marketing budgets.
Both pivots fail. G064 is a fundamental kill. Consulting-shaped revenue, not SaaS.
Kill Reason
Sandbox selection is a one-time decision per AI product (G064: one-time regulatory event = consulting not SaaS). Both pivots failed: enterprise AI portfolio pivot is absorbed by Deloitte/BCG GAMMA consultants; two-sided marketplace pivot fails because state sandboxes don't have commercial marketing budgets.

killed: Direction skipped — EU AI Act compliance tooling is a saturated theme confirmed across multiple previous sessions. BSI, SGS, TÜV, and dozens of startups already in market. Not explored further.
