Alerts when OSHA opens an inspection or issues citations against companies you care about — for defense attorneys, competitors, and vendor-risk teams.
“Market-tested” means a real shipped product or experiment measured the failure directly (a live user count, a dead auction, a documented shutdown). “Predicted” means the verdict is an evidence-based forecast from the receipts below, not a direct measurement.
Plausible on paper for two buyer classes (safety attorneys chasing contest-window work; vendor-risk teams monitoring contractors). Both evaporated on inspection — see below. No direct purchase evidence was found.
This one was market-tested by someone else while we watched: an Apify actor selling scheduled new-inspection alerts on the same free DOL API had 9 users; within the year the vertical grew to 17 actors (top one: 30 users), including a free MCP wrapper — many sellers, ~zero buyers, all racing on a free official API. The attorney trigger fails on timing: citation publication lags 5-30 days, which breaks the 15-business-day contest-window use case. The vendor-risk buyer already gets OSHA monitoring bundled free inside ISN, Avetta, and Veriforce — platforms their procurement departments already mandate. What is left is using the data for cold outreach — a sales-labor business, not a product.
The DOL enforcement API becoming paid AND the contractor-prequalification platforms unbundling OSHA monitoring — both near-impossible. If citation publication lag ever dropped to days, the attorney use case alone would merit a fresh look.
