From reactive to predictive - Failures detected before users see them
From code-only to production-aware - Real user behavior drives testing
From fragile to self-healing - Tests fix themselves

Our unique combination of cognitive AI + observability integration + production learning creates a defensible position that competitors cannot easily replicate.

The platform is ready for: - Beta customers in high-growth startups - Pilot programs with enterprises - Strategic partnerships with observability platforms
