The Gap Nobody Is Filling
Regulatory compliance tracking. Industries like manufacturing, maritime, and specialized healthcare face massive fines for non-compliance, but lack modern tracking software.
The Pricing Gap
Massive pricing gaps exist. Legacy enterprise tools charge $50k+ per year, leaving room for nimble $500/month SaaS tools that solve single regulatory pain points.
What Changed Recently
Governments worldwide are accelerating data-privacy and ESG reporting requirements, creating entirely new, un-served software sub-markets overnight.
