It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (92) and held back by feasibility (51). Typical pricing is $2.4k–$48k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $33k–$88k.
Security services teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
