Build 'DeepComply AI'—a $50K/year SaaS platform that automates environmental compliance and regulatory reporting for deep-sea mining operations. The platform would use AI to analyze environmental data, integrate with NOAA and EPA APIs, and offer a 'Compliance Dashboard' showing real-time adherence to regulations. It would also provide a 'Stranded Asset Calculator' showing financial impact of delays.
