The internal tools backlog is a governance problem, not a coding one. For years, the standard fix was to hire more engineers or buy a low code platform. But the backlog persists because the real bottleneck isn't code—it's trust. Ops, support, and finance teams know exactly which tools they need, but they can't build them without touching production data, and they can't get that access without a lengthy review. Prized, a YC S26 startup, approaches this from a different angle: let AI generate the tool, but wrap it in guardrails that make it safe for non engineers to use.
