Market sizing calculations are not credible and need a complete overhaul.

Compliance & Approvals

Completed
Regulatory pathway analysis

This AI SaaS platform targets SMBs with customizable AI models and real-time insights. While it does not involve regulated health claims or financial data, it must comply with GDPR/CCPA for data privacy and app store policies. MVP risk includes ensuring basic data privacy and a functional app review. Public launch increases risks with broader data protection and user consent requirements. Scaling globally will require adapting to multiple regional data protection laws. The US and EU differ mainly in data privacy stringency, with the EU being more rigorous. The smartest first move is to ensure GDPR/CCPA compliance.
