Guardrail Gateway

An idea, not code yet: a proxy you drop in front of your LLM provider that strips PII, blocks jailbreak attempts, and writes an audit trail of every call — sold per request. Think of it as compliance-in-a-box for teams shipping AI without a security team.

The framing is sharp and the wedge is real: every mid-size team shipping an AI feature hits legal asking 'where does the prompt data go and can you prove it?' and nobody wants to build logging plus a PII scrubber plus a prompt-injection filter in-house. A proxy is also the right shape — one base-URL swap, no SDK rewrite — and per-request pricing maps cleanly to the value. Before you buy, be clear on what you're getting: this is positioning and a plan, so the work is all ahead of you, and the two things to pressure-test are (1) whether your target buyers will route production traffic through a third-party hop (many will demand self-hosted, which changes the pricing model) and (2) how you differentiate from the guardrail features cloud providers and gateway tools keep absorbing — the usual answer is going deep on audit evidence for a specific regime like HIPAA or the EU AI Act rather than
