## The idea

**A2 — Legacy code resurrection.** AI-assisted COBOL/old-Java/Perl-monolith → modern stack migration with test harness generation. **Comp:** Anthropic Claude Code direct push (SSA $1B project, IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z), specialized consultancies, Azure Legacy-Modernization-Agents OSS. **Wedge:** Anthropic/IBM are eating the platform; deliverable wedge is still consulting + tooling — solo can land 1-2 6-figure contracts but not productize easily.

## Score reasoning

Feasibility — 2/10: Enterprise sales, Fortune 500 access, multi-month cycles. Consulting is solo-doable but not a product.
Best bet: Enterprise sales, Fortune 500 access, multi-month cycles. Consulting is solo-doable but not a product.
