TruffleHog, GitGuardian and Microsoft Purview already own enterprise secret scanning; nobody anchors SOC2 compliance on a solo founder's regex over git grep. One missed key in a generic string format gets the tool banned company-wide and the buyer fired, so the downside is career-ending while the value is marginal. Enterprise DevOps teams already pay for established security tools like GitGuardian or TruffleHog, and they will never trust a solo founder's regex script with their SOC2 compliance and liability.

Get one DevOps lead to book a paid pilot accepting regex sanitisation as sufficient for their audit, proving they'll trust it over the GitGuardian they already pay for. A CISO or Security Director at a mid-sized company pre-pays $79/mo and signs a waiver accepting all liability for any secrets your tool fails to strip.
Coding agents need immense context, but developers are terrified of leaking proprietary code and secrets to third-party APIs. Evidence shows massive demand for local AI: karpathy/autoresearch has 64.9k stars and 9.2k comments, and mempalace has 34k stars. Meanwhile, GitHub Copilot is highly rated (32k+ reviews) but restricted in enterprise settings due to data privacy fears.
