AI Thinking Process
T8 formed: Coolant chemistry drift monitor for AI colo tenants. Buyer: AI colo tenant (GPU compute shop) needing early warning on cooling loop degradation before hardware damage.
Colo operator identity conflict: exposing the operator's coolant liability to their own tenant kills the tenant-facing sale. The operator's interest is to suppress coolant chemistry data, not expose it.
Pivot to insurer channel: insurer-mandated coolant QA equipment. Specialty tech E&O only covers enterprise ($5M+ premiums), not small AI shops. Pivot fails on channel mismatch.
T8 killed: Liability conflict plus insurance channel mismatch. Positional kill (colo operator conflict is structural). Verdict COLD.
Kill Reason
Colo operator identity conflict (exposing their liability) kills the tenant-facing sale. G017 fires. Insurer-channel pivot fails because specialty tech E&O only covers enterprise ($5M+ premiums), not small AI shops.

killed: Three compounding factors: (1) CFPB guidance (Circular 2024-06) was rescinded in 2025 — the regulatory foundation is weaker than assumed; (2) Legal void problem: until courts rule whether AI hiring tools are consumer reporting agencies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.
