Routing Around Incumbents: Builders Patch Stripe, NPM, and NAR in One Week

What's Moving
NPM Runtime Security
The March–April 2026 attack cadence is sustaining, and enterprise procurement is already moving. Expect a runtime-interception category to harden by Q3 2026, with GitHub, Socket, and Snyk acquiring or copying the first indie entrant.
Emerging Market MoR
As validated in March, payment rail fragmentation is not self-correcting. A founder-led Merchant of Record targeting India, Pakistan, and Africa will ship meaningful volume by end of 2026 — Stripe will not reopen India in time.
