killed: LifeLock, Aura, and NortonLifeLock already offer automated credit freeze, identity monitoring, and breach response services backed by insurance policies and legal teams — an AI-automated version cannot compete on trust, coverage depth, or insurance backing with incumbents that have 15-year head starts, regulatory approvals, and nine-figure marketing budgets.

Without a proprietary content corpus or network effect, this is a feature, not a business.
