Seed thesis

• The mess: Exacting eCTD format/validation rules; document assembly across many sources; cross-reference and consistency checks; deadline pressure.
• Why now: Catastrophically expensive delays; agents can assemble and validate against structured rules — but credibility and regulatory rigor are the barrier.
• The money: Submission delays cost enormous revenue; high willingness to pay.
• Whitespace: Gated — biggest moat and biggest barrier; needs deep regulatory credibility.
