The team kicked off the Deep Program in Q4 2026. Original assumption: a B2C content-creation SaaS.
A 5-dimension track stress test found B2C acquisition cost (CAC) lacked elasticity, and China's Interim Measures for Generative AI Services pushed content-platform compliance costs down on margins by roughly 18-26%.
The platform's Critic Agent produced 12 counter-falsifications; the team pivoted to an 'enterprise knowledge workflow' PMF in 60 days. Across 12K Monte Carlo paths, median ARR rose 4.2x and survival probability 1.7x after the pivot.
Signed for a 5% stake (common shares + anti-dilution protection). Closed Series A in H2 2027 at a $200M valuation.
