CAIN-42 MCPGateThe niche: confidential computing verification
Companies processing sensitive data with AI in confidential-computing hardware, and their customers who must check the claim.
Why this niche exists now
- Confidential computing for AI is growing.
- Buyers increasingly ask for proof, not a statement.
What people use today, and where it falls short
| What teams do today | Where it falls short |
|---|---|
| Trust the vendor's statement | Unverifiable. |
| Build your own verifier | Specialist work. |
What makes TEE Verifier different
- Pinned maker roots with sources.
- Signed results.
How big is the opportunity?
Do not quote market-size statistics on a call. Most published figures are surveys or vendor estimates, and a smart buyer will ask for the source. Size the opportunity per prospect instead, with these questions:
- Do you or your vendors use confidential computing?
- Does anyone check the reports?
If the honest answers are "no" or "not yet", they are not a buyer today. Note it and move on; that is good selling, not failure.

Buyers rarely have just one problem. When this product fits, these often fit too:
| Product | Why it goes together |
|---|---|
| Offline verifiers (NULLIUS) | offline checking |
| Quorum-QaaS (4-region PBFT) | notarize the result |
| PQC Hybrid Signing | long-lived signatures |
Rule: open with one product. Mention a second only after the first is agreed.
