Sysadmins and developers waste days testing and debugging when upgrading Linux versions, fearing breaking changes.

Build a tool that scans systems pre-upgrade, identifies potential compatibility issues, and generates a migration plan with automated rollback options.

Enterprises and tech teams would pay to minimize downtime during critical upgrades.

Start by supporting the most common server configurations and popular dependencies.

The biggest risk is failing to catch edge cases, leading to post-upgrade failures.
