Executive Summary

Large engineering organizations running monorepos and multi-thousand-test suites waste predictable CI minutes when retries or partial runs re-execute tests that already passed; this pain is acute for teams on usage-based cloud CI where a few saved minutes per run scales to material cost savings. The problem is universal across companies with sizable test fleets — roughly 350,000 engineering orgs represent the TAM — and it disproportionately hurts teams with frequent flaky tests, long end-to-end suites, or iterative pull-request workflows. The product idea is a per-test remote cache that records test pass artifacts and allows CI retries to skip re-running tests whose results are still valid, surfaced via a small SDK and integrations with major CI runners and remote cache protocols. Measuring saved minutes and costs per repo, providing strong cache-invalidation semantics, and offering enterprise features (audit trails, encryption-at-rest, retention policies) are core requirements; given the addressable market of $10.5B (350,000 orgs × $30K ACV) and favorable market metrics (Market Score 90/100, Revenue Potential 88/100), initial commercial traction can come from teams with >100 engineers where ROI is fast. This opportunity is timely: monorepos and ballooning test suites increase payback from per-test skipping, cloud CI billing incentivizes minute reductions, and the rising adoption of remote build caches means the infrastructure and operational expectations already exist. Competition is medium — some CI vendors and caching layers touch parts of the problem — so differentiation will require per-test granularity, provable correctness to avoid silently skipping bad results, low-latency lookups, measurable cost savings, and tight CI integrations; the core challenges are convincing teams to trust skipped results and operating a storage/retention model that stays cheaper than the minutes it saves.

Executive Summary

Market Opportunity

Skip cached passing tests on CI retries via per-test remote cache targets a $10.5B = 350,000 engineering orgs x $30K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% (CI/CD & dev tools expansion).

Key trends driving demand: Monorepos & bigger test suites -- more tests per run increases payback from skipping passed tests.; Cloud CI & usage-based billing -- teams increasingly optimize to cut CI minutes and cost.; Adoption of remote build caches -- infrastructure exists to store per-test artifacts cheaply.; Focus on developer velocity -- organizations prioritize reducing flaky test repair time and retry waits..

Key competitors include Vercel (Turborepo remote caching), Nx Cloud (Nrwl), Gradle Enterprise (Gradle Inc.), Bazel remote cache / Google Remote Build Execution (RBE), GitHub Actions + cache / CI-level workarounds (adjacent solution).
