SCBE-AETHERMOORE MVP API Roadmap
Executive Summary
Transform the revolutionary SCBE-AETHERMOORE core engine into a sellable MVP with 6 essential API endpoints. Target: First paid pilot in 90 days.
Current Status: Core engine works (75% test pass rate), revolutionary math validated
Gap: Packaging for revenue - need simple, secure, demo-able API
Target Market: Bank innovation labs, AI startups, security-conscious enterprises
