🏰 Moat Strategy

Domain-specific fine-tuning on MENA governmental Arabic texts creating a performance gap that general purpose tools cannot close. As more agencies contribute anonymized data, the system gets smarter for everyone in the region (data moat).

⏰ Why Now?

Saudi Vision 2030 has created unprecedented funding for digital government initiatives while new regulations like PDPL demand better records management. Advances in LLM technology now make high-quality Arabic RAG economically feasible for the first time.
