Build **IrradiSafe**—a $15K/year SaaS + hardware platform that enables mid-market food processors to adopt FDA-approved irradiation. The platform would: 1) Deploy compact, FDA-certified irradiation units (cost: $50K/unit, 10x cheaper than Sterigenics); 2) Use IoT sensors and AI to auto-generate FDA compliance reports (e.g., 'Dose: 1.5 kGy—E. coli reduced by 99.9%'); 3) Integrate with ERP systems (e.g., SAP) to track irradiated batches; 4) Offer a 'Recall Risk Dashboard' showing real-time pathogen exposure (e.g., 'Batch #456: High Salmonella Risk—Quarantine Recommended').

Mid-market food processors and bakeries lack affordable tools to adopt FDA-approved irradiation technology. Current enterprise solutions (e.g., Sterigenics) require $5M+ capital expenditures and complex compliance reporting, leaving smaller players to manually test for pathogens—risking recalls, lawsuits, and lost contracts (e.g., 'E. coli outbreak costs $50M+ in damages').
