An insurance-backed quality warranty product that stands behind a specialty semiconductor vendor's qualification data when submitting to TSMC's supply chain — converting opaque QA documentation into a guaranteed-quality-or-refund package.
AI Thinking Process
Verb Transplant: 'warranty' from hardware retail → TSMC tier-2/3 fab-vendor qualification. Small specialty vendors qualifying into TSMC face months of opaque documentation and test-lot runs.
T10: Process warranty product stands behind vendor QA data with a small insurance backstop. TSMC procurement gets guaranteed-quality-or-refund package. Fubon/Cathay/Chubb Taiwan have B2B insurance lines but nothing specific to fab-vendor QA warranty.
G239 immediate check: (1) Liquid underlying market? No fab-vendor QA warranty line underwritten. (2) Actuarial data? Defect rates per vendor category don't exist. (3) Willing counterparty? Insurer would need multi-year actuarial data that doesn't exist. G239 flag fires.
Pivot 1: drop insurance, sell SaaS qualification-preparation tool to vendors. Classified as Block 4 compliance-doc SaaS for semiconductor vertical — skip. Pivot 2: sell vendor risk-scoring to TSMC procurement. TSMC has SVIS already — too hard.
G239 infrastructure gate + no meaningful pivot survives. Two-front war (insurer + TSMC procurement) with neither side committed.
Resurrection check: FUNDAMENTAL on both sides — two-front war. Skip.
Kill Reason
Two infrastructure gates blocked this simultaneously: (1) no insurance carrier offers an underwritten product line for fab-vendor QA warranty — the actuarial data on defect rates per vendor category doesn't exist yet; (2) TSMC's own SVIS vendor management system already covers the buyer-side dashboard surface, making external vendor-risk scoring redundant from TSMC's perspective. Two-front war with neither side committed.
