Hypothetical seed positioning and market narrative for EvidenceOS.
How we're different
- Evidence system of record, not a case tracker.
- Immutable timeline and explicit approvals with no silent overrides.
- Examiner-ready binders with linked artifacts and tamper-evident logs.

Internal / Hypothetical. Illustrative only.
The wedge
EvidenceOS automates evidence capture, approvals, and binder generation for sanctions and CDD. We do not replace monitoring or sanctions data providers. Humans approve adverse actions.
Market and buyer
ICP: fintech compliance leaders, risk directors at mid-market banks, and payments compliance teams. Budget owner: compliance or risk operations.
Why now
Compliance workloads are growing while audit expectations rise. Evidence automation is the next step after security compliance platforms proved the model.
Business model and unit economics shape
Hypothetical ACV $60k to $250k. Expansion comes from more controls, more programs, and deeper retention tiers.
GTM plan
- 0-6 months: design partners in sanctions and CDD.
- 6-18 months: repeatable pilots and compliance playbooks.
- 18-36 months: evidence platform narrative and bank expansion.
Moat candidates
- Evidence schema library and exception taxonomy.
- Retention metadata and binder formats.
- Integration depth across compliance systems.
Competitive landscape
Case management, AML suites, data vendors, and GRC platforms are adjacent. EvidenceOS wins on evidence integrity and binders.
Risks and mitigations
- Data access risk mitigated by staged integrations.
- Compliance risk mitigated by approvals and audit trail.
- Sales cycle risk mitigated by 30-day pilot scope.
