Unix compliance testing tool

Develop a tool that helps verify OS compliance with Unix standards after macOS's removal from the registry.

Why now

The recent change in macOS's certification status has raised new questions about Unix compatibility.

Who for
system administrators
Business model
enterprise licensing
Effort
A few months

Developers working across Unix-like systems need better tools to verify standards compliance as the landscape changes.

Build a suite of tests that check for POSIX compliance and other Unix standards.

Enterprise IT departments and cross-platform developers would pay for comprehensive testing tools.

Start with basic POSIX compliance checks, then expand to more standards.

The risk is limited market size beyond core enterprise users.
