The platform is designed to someday find many kinds of bugs in many kinds of software, but for now, it is focused solely on distributed systems reliability/fault tolerance testing, as it is an area where the company already knows what it is doing. The company has partnered with engineering teams at several organizations with critical systems, including MongoDB, the Ethereum Foundation, and Palantir.
