Revenue and GTM

Consumer health and safety signal monitor: CRISPR tech selectively shreds cancer cells, including "undruggable" cancers

Revenue: $250K-$2M ARR potential if the wedge proves budget urgency and becomes a recurring workflow.

GTM: Start with manual concierge output, direct outreach, and community proof before paid acquisition.

Execution: Execution is moderate; the main constraint is staying narrow enough for a first proof loop.
