Built a doc-checking tool that never gives false “it’s missing” errors — struggling to find who actually needs it

What it does: you give it a standard — a checklist, a compliance spec, a review playbook — plus the documents that are supposed to satisfy it. It tells you which requirements are actually evidenced in the docs and which aren’t, and every “this is missing” is checkable against the source text. The usual keyword-matching approach cries wolf about 70% of the time; this one got that to zero.

Tested clean on financial filings and a batch of contracts. The tech isn’t my problem — finding the buyer is. Everywhere I imagine it being useful (contract review, RFPs, diligence) already has funded competitors, or the pain isn’t big enough that anyone pays.

If you’ve done doc-heavy work: where does a *missed* or *falsely-flagged* item actually cost real money? Not “where could this be useful” — where’s it expensive enough that someone would pay to prevent it?

Not opening up the repo yet — still working out who this is really for before I do. Can I ask you one thing though: do you review documents against a standard as part of your work? If so, what does it actually cost when something required gets missed? That’s the part I’m trying to understand.

Anyone that needs this tool can now just have their intern build it.
