Market size — the room we play in

The regulatory demand engine

Ikwe's lane is behavioral safety for AI that talks to people. These are the live laws creating forced demand, by date. This is the inevitability, and it is sourced.

Geographic split of the monitoring goal

How the monitoring base breaks down by region, and the qualified conversations each region demands at the conversion rate. Iowa is the wedge; the US carries volume; UK and EU lead international.

Goal & mix controls

Monitoring goal (clients)

Avg value / client / yr

Qualified → monitoring rate

Regional mix (% of goal)

Iowa (wedge)

US national (core)

UK & EU

Canada & NZ (later)

The surface we protect

Why the demand is real: the number of people already talking to AI in emotionally loaded ways.

What's data vs assumption

Backed by data (sourced)

AI governance market size and growth rate
Companion-AI users, downloads, consumer spend
Every law, its date, scope, and penalty
Canada AIDA is dead; EU high-risk deferred to Dec 2027

Assumption (to validate)

Behavioral-safety slice of the AI-governance market (set below)
Qualified → monitoring conversion (benchmark, not Ikwe's yet)
Regional mix of clients (your call, seeded to where law is live)
Count of eligible operators per region (no clean public source)
