for founders
Crowded market in developer tools infra: many mapped nodes (7+), expected-density 81/100.
why now: Agentic capability has crossed the line where this workflow can run end-to-end, and the underlying spend is large enough to support paid software.

for investors
Lower-priority niche: 81 expected, many mapped nodes (7+) — late entry, watch for category leader.
structural risks
- incumbents may bundle this in
- trust + adoption are slow
- AI-quality bar is moving fast
