C developers often struggle with undefined behavior that can lead to unpredictable and dangerous outcomes. Build a toolkit that analyzes code and provides actionable fixes for undefined behavior patterns. Enterprise C shops would pay for this to improve code safety and reduce liability. Start with a basic linter that flags common undefined behaviors. The risk is that developers may ignore warnings or find false positives.
