The buyer-intent problems someone in this lane works on

If you're searching for help in the SaaS / Tech / Software lane, Nicholas Buchanan ๐Ÿš€ operates here. These are the problems someone in this role typically tackles โ€” and where SideGuy substrate intersects:

  • Choosing compliance automation that fits a small team โ€” Vanta vs Drata vs Secureframe vs the not-heavy custom layer
  • Building integration substrate that survives vendor turnover
  • Picking AI-baked-in tools vs AI-bolted-on legacy platforms
