Great point, and you're right, I definitely leaned into the technical side in the post. I didn’t want it to come off as pitchy or overly “marketed”. Because I'm not trying to sell anything here at the moment. I’m really trying to understand the value from people who’ve been closer to this problem.

I originally started building this while working in the defense industry. I saw firsthand how vulnerable those environments can be, especially with early GenAI adoption, and how much risk there was around leaking sensitive or classified info through prompts/responses. That really stuck with me, and led to the idea of a real-time policy layer for LLMs.

That said, defense is a tough market to break into, especially without deep networks—so we’ve been exploring other verticals where compliance, privacy, or brand safety is a concern. But we’re still figuring out who the buyer is, how they evaluate this kind of tooling, and how to talk about it in their language.
