1. Problem & Existing Interest

Founders and security / sales engineers repeatedly complain that vendor security questionnaires (SIG, CAIQ, custom Excel) are a huge, non-core time sink. Threads on Reddit’s r/cybersecurity and r/SaaS (see links below) ask how to automate them, and posters recommend tools such as HyperComply, Conveyor and SafeBase – proof the pain is real and companies are already paying.

HN post 36488436 ("AnswerDeck") – got enough up-votes to reach the front page, further validating interest in the indie-hacker / startup crowd.
