TrustOS Premium Features Roadmap

Strategic Overview

Transform TrustOS from a $50K/year audit tool into a $150K-$200K/year sticky subscription through premium features that embed into critical business cycles.

Business Model Progression:

  • Phase 1 (Now): $50K-$100K per audit
  • Phase 2 (3 months): $100K/year base + $80K-$120K premium features
  • Phase 3 (6 months): $140K-$180K/year per customer (2.5-3x expansion)

🏆 Top 5 Premium Features (Ranked by Revenue Impact)
