WhatA service that uses formal modeling and AI to find undiscovered bugs in critical legacy codebases still running in production — aerospace, defense, medical devices, industrial control systems.
SignalThe fact that a 57-year-old, heavily scrutinized 4KB program still had an undiscovered concurrency bug demonstrates that legacy critical systems almost certainly harbor unknown defects, and modern AI-assisted formal methods can surface them.
Why NowAI code analysis tools like Claude Code have reached the capability to model and reason about complex concurrency bugs in legacy assembly and low-level code that was previously impractical to formally verify at scale.
MarketDefense contractors, aerospace companies (NASA, ESA, SpaceX), medical device manufacturers, and nuclear/industrial operators pay millions for software assurance; TAM $5B+ in safety-critical software verification. Competitors like Grammatech and Coverity focus on modern codebases, leaving legacy systems underserved.
MoatProprietary corpus of legacy system models and bug patterns creates compounding expertise; regulatory relationships and certifications (DO-178C, IEC 62304) create high switching costs.
