A founder describes running 9 autonomous open-source AI agents operating a real fitness studio in Dongguan, China for 120 days. After 84 months of prior physical business operations, they discovered no existing category describes their system. They argue categories are defined by building and operating, not pitch decks, and identify their category as a verification layer for physical business behavior.
