Our Take

Appeals

• Complete independence: Proprietary advanced reasoning engine and agent-to-agent testing methodology detects complex ethical and fairness issues that rule-based competitors miss.

• Market Leaders: First-mover advantage with trust badge certification.

• Network Effects: Growing marketplace of certified AI systems leads to customer contribution to test and enhance the API ecosystem creating platform lock-in.

Risks

• Market Timing: Balancing early market entry against evolving regulations requires an element of “building the plane while it’s flying” to cater to changing regulations but staying focussed and not seizing every market opportunity (shiny object syndrome).

• Market expansion risk: While the UK/EU markets are fully operational, scaling into the US can bring challenges especially with regulatory risk and their compliance differences.
