Build a tool that verifies C code works across different compiler versions.

Why now

Embedded developers struggle with subtle C standard differences between compilers.

Who for
Embedded systems engineers
Business model
License fee
Effort
A few months

Embedded systems often use outdated compilers with non-standard C behavior.

Create a static analyzer that flags compiler-specific behaviors and portability issues.

Sell to engineering teams maintaining legacy systems.

Begin by supporting common ARM and AVR compiler quirks.

Risk: Niche market with established competitors like Coverity.
