If an entrepreneur "adopted" this product today, here's the realistic math.
Fermi summary
Land 250 paying customers at $24/mo and you've got $72k ARR - but with Snyk and GitHub already in the room and vibe coders notoriously security-blind, there's only about a 12% shot you hit that in year one, and expected take-home after investment is negative.

Go-to-market motion
PLG developer funnel: free 1-repo scan tier → HN/Product Hunt launch → SEO content on 'AI code security' → convert ~3% of trial signups to $25/mo paid within 90 days.
Key risks
- GitHub Advanced Security ($30/dev/mo) and Snyk already scan AI-generated code for OWASP Top 10 - Remedix must prove its AI-specific detections catch things incumbents miss, not just rebrand generic SAST
- Vibe coders who ship AI apps fastest are also least likely to pause for a security scan - highest-volume target buyers have the lowest purchase intent until after a breach
- OpenAI, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot could ship native pre-commit security review within 6-12 months, collapsing the standalone tool's reason to exist
