One of the easiest mistakes in a SaaS is thinking: "If they're authenticated, they're trusted." They're not. In 2022, attackers used stolen OAuth tokens from third-party integrations connected to GitHub. Those tokens allowed them to access private repositories belonging to dozens of organizations.

Quick test most founders skip: write 20-30 questions a buyer would ask before choosing a tool in your category (“best X for small agencies”, “X vs Y”). Run them in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, and note whether you show up, whether you’re recommended or just listed, and which sources get cited. Often the cited source…
