Verification Appliance (Hardware)
An FPGA or Tenstorrent card pre-loaded with a mature Passepartout image, domain-specific gate rules, and a hardware root of trust. No cloud dependency.
Target: regulated industries needing provable compliance that cannot accept cloud-based AI. Price: $5K-$50K/unit. Volume: hundreds to low thousands in year one.
The Lisp Machine on Tenstorrent P150 (~72 RISC-V Tensix cores on a PCIe card) is the realistic first target: the microcode is RISC-V assembly (software), not FPGA bitstream (hardware). The system can propose, load, test, and roll back a new dispatch routine in seconds. An FPGA path would add synthesis time (minutes to hours per iteration). This hardware-first approach embodies Lisp economics — verification hardware has near-zero marginal cost. The Upgrade lifecycle for the appliance is managed via signed firmware updates with Merkle snapshots.
Revenue estimate: 50 sales in year one = $250K-$2.5M.
