AI wrapper

Thin product layer over a frontier model API.

What ideas like this commonly underweight

  • Defensibility once the underlying model adds the same feature (often within 6 months).

  • Pricing margin compression as token costs fall and providers ship competing features.

  • Switching cost — wrappers usually have none beyond UI familiarity.

Trigvale never claims these patterns predict outcome — only that ideas in this shape tend to underweight them. The verdict you receive on a specific idea is informed by this cluster context plus your declared founder skill graph plus the live evidence pipeline.
