Avoid "free" file-hostage: self-hosted, privacy-first micro file utilities

Avoid "free" file-hostage: self-hosted, privacy-first micro file utilities targets a $9.6B = 48M businesses x $200 ARR (basic file utilities & developer productivity addons) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% (document processing, developer tooling, and privacy-focused SaaS growth).

Key trends driving demand: privacy-first adoption -- companies prefer on-prem/self-hosted options to avoid vendor lock and compliance risk; edge/WASM runtimes -- enables lightweight binaries to run client-side or on edge for low-latency processing; SaaS fatigue & freemium backlash -- users resent data capture and limits tied to free tools; API-first microservices -- developers want small composable endpoints instead of monolith suites.
