App Store ComplianceThe technical and policy requirements Apple and Google impose on apps before they can be listed in the App Store or Play Store: account deletion functionality, data privacy disclosures, restricted API usage policies, content guidelines, and in-app purchase rules. Apps that fail these requirements are rejected and must be revised before resubmission, often adding days or weeks to launch timelines. Woz pre-bakes these requirements into every generated app by default — the result is passing App Store review in an average of one to two rejections, which outperforms many hand-built apps.Audit LogA recorded history of actions taken by a system, user, or agent for debugging, accountability, and compliance.AuditabilityThe ability for someone else to inspect and verify how an AI system behaved.Auditable LogA tamper-evident record of everything an AI agent accessed and did during a task — required for debugging when agents make mistakes and for compliance in regulated enterprises.B2B data layerPackaging consumer insight as a product sold to brands.Behavioral biometricsIdentifying users by their unique behavior patterns — location routine, typing cadence, device usage — rather than physical traits or credentials.BI (Business Intelligence)Tools and practices for turning company data into reports and insights.Big dataDatasets too large or complex for traditional software to handle, which AI can analyze to find patterns and trends.
