Buyer context

Treat Evo as Snyk's AI-native security platform, with particular relevance to coding agents, code repositories, AI supply-chain components, and AI-native application testing.
Confirm component maturity during diligence because Evo AI-SPM is generally available while some agent guard and red-teaming functions are in preview.
