The niche: trust between AI agents of different companies

Companies whose agents transact with suppliers', customers' or partners' agents.

Why this niche exists now

• Agent-to-agent commerce is starting.
• Each side needs a rule for how much to trust the other's agent.

What people use today, and where it falls short

What makes CAIN ATLAS different

• Bar rises with risk.
• Unknown means deny.
• Reasons listed.

How big is the opportunity?

Do not quote market-size statistics on a call. Most published figures are surveys or vendor estimates, and a smart buyer will ask for the source. Size the opportunity per prospect instead, with these questions:

• Do your agents deal with other companies' agents?
• What's the riskiest thing they can do?

If the honest answers are "no" or "not yet", they are not a buyer today. Note it and move on; that is good selling, not failure.
