Why does compliance still mean a PDF and a prayer?
Opportunity
Rules about who can hold what, and where, live in documents and human checklists. The asset itself carries none of it. Tokenized assets and stablecoins keep relearning this the hard way. Compliance should travel with the asset and be checkable in real time, not reconstructed after something breaks.
Why it matters
Machine-readable compliance is the real unlock for moving regulated assets on-chain.
How I score the opportunity
The Opportunity Score is my own read, not a measurement: how much it hurts, how often it bites, and how little exists to solve it today. Higher means I think it is more worth building.
How much pain it causes when it shows up.
How often people actually run into it.
How little good tooling exists for it today.
More problems worth solving
Why can't I prove I am solvent without showing my balance?
