In r/SaaS, builders working on sensitive document and compliance tooling flag that LLM output formatting can be brittle, making strict JSON a recurring failure mode that complicates production reliability.
How I built an AI tool to translate NDAs using Zero-Knowledge Encryption (and why relying on LLMs for strict JSON is a nightmare) >
the failure mode for open-source compliance tools is usually that they work perfectly on demo day and then silently break when AWS changes an API response format three months later.
the real moat might not be domain expertise alone but having regression tests that catch those silent failures before your users do.
You replicated the features in 8.5h — respect.
The build was never the moat.
