Thesis
As generative AI startups scale, output safety and hallucination risk become existential. Sell a SaaS platform for continuous, automated red-teaming and output monitoring.
The wedge
Automated LLM output monitoring and adversarial testing API for GenAI app builders.
Why now
Recent press on AI hallucinations and regulatory attention (e.g., Google's AI wrongly listing businesses as closed) show customer pain and compliance risk. (https://www.kttc.com/2026/09/08/uni-uni-says-googles-ai-feature-wrongly-listed-it-permanently-closed/)
