# Registrymuse

*/Startups/Registrymuse*

## Startup Overview

The platform parses repository commits directly into verified software bills of materials. It continuously maps every code change, third-party library, and internal component to a precise cryptographic hash as code enters the repository. Compliance teams receive an always-current, immutable ledger of the software supply chain without any interruption to the engineering workflow.

Legacy vulnerability scanners like Snyk and JFrog Xray focus on post-build artifact scanning, while manual compliance audits fail to match the velocity of continuous deployment. By anchoring the SBOM generation process to the exact moment of code commit, the architecture remains completely invisible to developers. It simultaneously outputs cryptographically verifiable records that satisfy strict regulatory requirements, resolving the historical tension between rapid software delivery and absolute supply chain provenance.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to deliver 100% cryptographically verifiable commit histories for regulated software vendors.
- Targeting zero seconds of added developer wait time during the standard commit and push lifecycle.
- Intended to reduce routine compliance audit preparation from multiple weeks to a single-click export.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Team · Price: ~$50–$150/mo · Inclusions: Up to 25 active repositories, automated daily SBOM generation, and standard NTIA compliance exports.
- Name: Organization · Price: ~$400–$900/mo · Inclusions: Up to 100 active repositories, real-time commit-level SBOM updates, and automated cryptographic signature generation.
- Name: Enterprise · Price: enterprise: ~$15k–$40k/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited repositories, dedicated internal PKI integration for signing, and custom compliance reporting frameworks tailored to your audit requirements.
**Guarantee**: If a Registrymuse-generated SBOM is rejected by a formal compliance audit due to a formatting error or unverified commit origin, your current month's subscription is fully refunded and the export template is corrected within 48 hours.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Will this block developers if the parsing engine lags? No, the system operates entirely asynchronously via webhook after the commit is pushed, never blocking local workflows or CI/CD pipelines.
- We already pay for Snyk and JFrog. Snyk and JFrog actively scan for known vulnerabilities; Registrymuse specifically generates the cryptographically signed bill of materials required for strict external compliance audits.
- How do you handle massive monolithic repositories? The architecture is designed to index the baseline state once, then strictly parse only the incremental diffs of new commits to maintain performance.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day proof-of-concept deployed on 5 high-traffic repositories to prove the incremental diff parsing engine maintains real-time SBOM generation without lagging behind a monolithic codebase.
- A 60-day trial with a regulated software team aimed at producing a flawless NTIA-compliant export that successfully passes a mock external compliance audit.
**Target Metrics**:
- target: 0 seconds of added developer wait time during standard commit and push lifecycles.
- aim: 100% cryptographically verifiable commit histories across active repositories.
- before/after: Multiple weeks of manual audit preparation reduced to 1 single-click NTIA compliance export.
- target: 48-hour maximum turnaround time to correct any formal compliance audit formatting rejections.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market fintech vendor led by a VP of Engineering transitioning from manual, week-long compliance documentation sprints to fully automated, real-time NTIA-compliant SBOM exports that pass strict external auditor review.
- An enterprise healthcare software provider managed by a Chief Information Security Officer eliminating unverified commit origins across 100+ repositories by implementing automated cryptographic signature generation without disrupting the existing CI/CD pipeline.
- A fast-growing GovTech contractor directed by a Compliance Manager reducing routine FedRAMP audit preparation from multiple weeks of manual log collection to a single-click verifiable export.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- A VP of Engineering praising the asynchronous webhook architecture that generates mandatory compliance artifacts without ever blocking local workflows or CI/CD pipelines.
- A Chief Information Security Officer expressing relief that the automated cryptographic signing satisfies external auditors' origin requirements without requiring developers to change their push habits.
- A Compliance Manager highlighting the SLA guarantee, noting that the risk of audit rejection due to formatting errors is eliminated by the promised 48-hour template correction.

## Startup Top Risks

- **Philosophical**: Verifiable code provenance belongs in the commit ledger, not in a spreadsheet created six months later.
**Success**: Your compliance reporting becomes a single-click export that is cryptographically verifiable and developer-invisible.
**One Liner**: What if your software bill of materials was always current and verifiable? Registrymuse parses every code commit into a signed SBOM, turning weeks of audit prep into a single click.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: generate cryptographically signed manifests without interrupting developers
- **Unlike**: manual compliance audits
- **For Whom**: compliance leads at regulated software vendors
- **Category**: Automated SBOM compliance platform
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Generate an SBOM
- **Transitional**: View sample NTIA export
**Failure Stakes**:
- Audit rejection due to unverified origins
- Weeks of engineering downtime for manual reporting
- Lost federal or healthcare contracts
**Transformation**:
- **To**: the lead who provides instant forensic proof of code integrity
- **From**: a compliance officer hunting down missing dependency logs
**Controlling Idea**: Software compliance must be a side effect of coding, not a manual event.
