DPR AI market: narrow and trust-sensitive
The build-side buyer is a regulated, data-sensitive SMB or mid-market company: legal, healthcare, fintech, and insurance are where DPR starts. These buyers pay for AI that is documented, handed over cleanly, governed, and measured against a real outcome.
The capital-side buyer is a verified-accredited investor: angels and angel groups, micro-VCs and emerging managers, family offices, and syndicate leads who want lower-noise research and curated founder relationships.
TAM/SAM/SOM framing: directional only. The broad TAM is companies adopting AI plus private-market investors who buy dealflow signal. The serviceable market is the regulated, data-sensitive slice where trust and compliance justify higher pricing. The initial obtainable market is smaller: one starting vertical, faster-closing Starter/Growth work first, and investor subscriptions only as a research product proves repeatable.
Narrow wins because regulated buyers do not want a generalist AI shop. They need one honest KPI, audit trails, human review, model-risk docs, clean ownership, and a vendor that does not blur software delivery with capital-raising compensation.

DPR competition: services shops and dealflow platforms
| Category | What they sell | Common weakness | DPR position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Generic AI consultancies | Projects, pilots, prompt work, integration help | Project-based, no durable asset, weak measurement, often vendor lock-in | AI builds on retainer; every build tied to one honest number; the relationship network gets stronger from real results |
| Internal automation teams | DIY workflows and low-code tools | Slow when governance, evaluation, and cross-system wiring are missing | Productized build packages with compliance and integration built in, then handed over |
| Dealflow platforms / marketplaces | Lists of startups, investor matching, pitch access | Deal spam, low trust, little proof, and compliance risk if economics depend on fundraising | Signal earned from real work, warm relationships, flat subscription only, disclosed conflicts, and no success fees |

Why now: budgets up, trust down
DPR AI
AI budgets are rising while measurement, governance, and compliance discipline lag. Buyers want automation, but regulated buyers need proof, auditability, and ownership before they trust it.
