Question / Claim
Many high-impact software services still exist that solve real, painful problems without relying on AI hype.
Key Assumptions
- Organizations prefer simple, reliable tools over complex AI-driven platforms for critical operational risks.(medium confidence)
- Many operational risks worsen gradually and are poorly monitored today.(high confidence)
Evidence & Observations
- Positive reaction to IPDrift, which addresses IP drift without AI fluff and still meets a massive need.(personal)
Open Uncertainties
- Which of these problem areas has the fastest path to revenue for a small team?
- How defensible are these services against larger platforms adding similar features?
Current Position
I believe there is strong opportunity in building focused, boring services that monitor slow, silent operational drift, similar to IPDrift.
This is work-in-progress thinking, not a final conclusion.
