Direct competition is thin — one adjacent open-source project against an otherwise enormous package ecosystem — so what you'd be up against is mostly generic tooling rather than a purpose-built guard layer. Demand is moderate rather than loud, and the specificity of the search vocabulary suggests an emerging rather than established need: entry is defensible if you can reach the narrow set of teams
