ProblemU.S. food processors still piece audit readiness together from HACCP files, calibration logs, supplier certs, and corrective-action folders. FDA cites 48M illnesses a year, while BRCGS now requires at least one unannounced audit every 3 years.

Market opportunityUSDA counts 42,708 U.S. food and beverage manufacturing establishments. Current software already supports $99-$299 per-site self-serve pricing and $1k+ enterprise deals, leaving room for a narrower readiness layer that sells fast.
