Why Now

AI Maturity

LLMs finally parse regulatory standards at expert level.

Tool Fragmentation

Engineering teams run dozens of disconnected tools. None share compliance context.

Compliance Pressure

[Industry Standard] v4.0, ISO 26262, ISO 21434 — three mandates converging in 2025-2027.

The timing is now.

Go-to-Market

How We Get There

Phase 1

Q1–Q2 2026

Founder-Led Sales

3–5 design partners. We sit in their meetings, learn their pain, and ship what they need.

Phase 2

Q3–Q4 2026

Grow Inside Accounts

One team adopts, others follow. Prove the land-and-expand motion works.

Phase 3

2027+

Scale What Works

Channel partners and self-serve. Only after the playbook is proven.
