Subject: your post last week about the BNPL

Hey Daniel, your post last week about the BNPL regulation update was the most measured take I read on it.

Most FinTech sales teams hit a quarter where compliance reviews on outbound tooling stretch the buying cycle past 90 days.

We are a Chrome extension, no server-side data, BYO OpenAI key, so the security review is usually one call instead of three.

Worth 12 minutes Thursday to walk through what a compliance-heavy SaaS team did?
