Kill Reason
Aurora Solar — well-funded and holding enterprise contracts with major US solar installers — already solves this problem, and Google Sunroof provides a free consumer version backed by years of proprietary satellite imagery data. A new entrant would need to replicate both the installer relationship network and the aerial data asset simultaneously, which is not feasible at the capital level available to an early-stage company.

killed: Critical weakness: Regulatory risk
killed: Annuity suitability documentation tools are already a feature of established insurance and RIA compliance platforms; the dual-regulation angle combining NAIC model regulation and SEC Reg BI is a real pain point but not sufficient differentiation when large compliance vendors can add this capability to their existing platforms already serving the same advisors.
killed: The high-net-worth prospect research market is dominated by well-funded platforms such as ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and Wealth-X that already aggregate the same public records data; solo RIAs who pay for prospect intelligence tools are already subscribed to these incumbents, and matching their data coverage requires capital investment that makes this uncompetitive on day one.
