Why now
AI is commoditizing digital execution (code, generic content, data entry), causing value to migrate toward scarce, weird, human-made crafts and physical experiences.
Market gap
There is no recognized, standardized certification label for authentic human craft in the digital age, akin to the 'organic' label for food.
