Perimeter Breaches (Patched Mine)

🔒
API Caps: Monitor credits—warn clients early. $99 tier covers 100 gigs.

🔒
Data Fresh: SERP real-time—cache summaries. Disclose "AI-sourced".

🔒
Privacy Leak: No PII in curators. Client-owned data.

Greenlight: Commercial API/curators OK, no resale bans.

🛡️ Clearance: 8.9/10

Dev-lite intel gold. Pumped $1.2k last mo for VC client. Automate reports, sip coffee.
