Ten domains where deterministic governance and tamper-evident receipts are not optional, from mom-and-pop shops needing safe AI use to defense systems requiring hardware-enforced authorization. Each with a product, platform, and licensing pathway.
These five carry the clearest near-term commercial pathway: a defined buyer, a defined regulation or pain, and a working product or platform component already in the stack. Six additional domains follow further down, same architecture, longer build-and-sale cycle.
Flight recorder and guardrail layer for vibe coders, solo builders, and small dev teams. Cascade sits between you and your AI tools, classifying risk, blocking cloud on private IP, and writing receipts for every session.
★ PrimaryC4, autonomous platforms, weapons release, intelligence processing. SBIR pathway open. JADC2-adjacent. DECC FPGA hardware interlock is the differentiator.
★ PrimaryEU AI Act, banking, insurance, healthcare AI. Pre-execution compliance gating with exportable audit trails. CB-12 product is the entry SKU. August 2026 trigger.
★ PrimaryAgent firewall, drift monitoring, receipt-as-a-service. For LLM platforms, RAG companies, automation vendors. Cascade + SDM + governance SDK is the bundle.
★ PrimaryLeasing offices, cannabis retail, repair shops, boutiques. Cascade as the control layer between staff and ChatGPT. Rules, approvals, records. $49/mo. 10-minute setup.
These verticals use the same governance substrate, but the buyer is harder to reach or the regulatory timeline is longer. They are real engagement pathways, not roadmap items, but they are not the first three pitches WHL leads with.
Tail-latency prediction, thermal headroom bidding, device-bound licensing. For GPU fleet operators and inference shops.
SCADA replacement, industrial control, grid admissibility, bounded actuation under adversarial conditions.
ROS2 action firewall. Hardware-attested authorization for humanoid platforms, AMRs, drones, autonomous systems.
Medical implants, automotive WPT, drone charging, DER interconnection. Six-gate Patent 22 admissibility.
Trading risk co-processor, treasury automation, hardware-enforced position and exposure limits, forensic replay.
Receipt-chain attestation for AI-assisted legal work, IP licensing portals, and contract-trigger automation.
Tell us which domain you operate in and we will route the conversation to the right pathway, a product pilot, a platform license, a federal engagement, or a strategic partnership. Conversations happen under NDA where applicable.
