01 / WHAT YOU GET

Useful before the network exists

Building got 10× faster. Finding the first buyer did not.

CruxRelay turns a broad AI product into a testable commercial wedge. You leave with a buyer hypothesis, a bounded paid proof, the evidence gaps to close, and language for real conversations.

The usual launch advice
  • Define a broad ICP
  • Post everywhere
  • Send more cold DMs
  • Hope someone books
Activity without a falsifiable hypothesis

02 / WHAT COMES NEXT

Your kit is the first layer.

The builder tool works immediately. The buyer workflow becomes the evidence-rich network over time.

03 / AGENT SYSTEM

Five agents. One commercial truth.

The agents draft and challenge. Humans approve claims, access, pricing, introductions, and every purchase decision.

01

Product Agent

Inspects the product, not just the pitch.

Creates a capability passport with evidence, boundaries, integrations, and unknowns.

02

Problem Agent

Finds the buying event inside the complaint.

Turns an operational pain into a brief with a baseline, owner, data boundary, and decision route.

03

Fit Agent

Compares capability to the actual job.

Labels every requirement as met, partial, unknown, or blocked—never a decorative match score.

04

Proof Agent

Designs the smallest honest paid proof.

Builds the metrics, sample, responsibilities, stop conditions, and scale decision.

05

Procurement Agent

Surfaces what can still kill the deal.

Structures security, data, legal, support, and production-pricing gaps for human review.

Human gateNo autonomous outreach, ranking, contracting, data access, or spend.

04 / THE MOAT

The outcome graph remembers what the marketplace forgets.

Which capability met which problem. Which evidence changed the buyer’s mind. Which security gap stalled the proof. Which metric converted into production—and which did not.
