Princeps builds the price of compute risk — a live benchmark for downtime, failure, and model-output liability, built from telemetry instead of loss history. The number lenders, insurers, and exchanges reference to finance, underwrite, and trade compute. The actuarial tables for silicon.

Is this you?
If you're behind PRINCEPS: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. GetFoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
