AI Thinking Process
T20 formed: Taiwan AI liquid-cooling ODM supply chain intelligence platform. Buyer: procurement director at AI hardware startup or data center builder tracking Delta/Foxconn/Auras lead times.
TrendForce and DIGITIMES Research confirmed with $30-100K per year subscriptions. Local Trust Pre-Filter fires: enterprise procurement prefers TrendForce brand over a startup real-time feed.
Pivot to sub-$5M-ARR AI infra startups who cannot afford TrendForce. TAM: 200-500 companies globally at $2-5K per year ARPU equals $1-2M total TAM. Below any viable business threshold.
T20 killed: Incumbent dominant (TrendForce/DIGITIMES) plus TAM too small on pivot. Positional kill on primary market. Verdict COLD.
Kill Reason
TrendForce and DIGITIMES Research already cover this space with $30-100K/yr subscriptions. G114 (Local Trust Pre-Filter): enterprise procurement prefers TrendForce's brand over a startup's real-time feed.

killed: Three compounding factors: (1) CFPB guidance (Circular 2024-06) was rescinded in 2025 — the regulatory foundation is weaker than assumed; (2) Legal void problem: until courts rule whether AI hiring tools are consumer reporting agencies under FCRA, a dispute tool is filing disputes that screening companies may legally ignore; (3) Historical near-duplicate of 'Employment Screening FCRA Dispute Kit' (20260323-crossdomain, COLD) — the CFPB guidance rescission provides a stronger kill reason than the original.
killed: Template offspring of today's CPG Reformulation Intelligence Platform (G056). Same data source approach (public ingredient databases + web scraping), same mechanism (automated diff detection). Different buyer segment (cosmetics regulatory affairs vs. CPG competitive intelligence) but not a new product — a market expansion path for the same company.
killed: AI-washing of layoffs may be a 2025-2026 narrative phenomenon, not a structural market. Per-lawyer frequency (5-20 AI-washing cases/year) makes SaaS unviable — per-report pricing ($500-2,000) is consulting, not software. G028 crisis signal trap applies.
