Businesses don't like risk. They need to estimate the total cost 
before starting the project. I don't think you can advertising 
"less bugs" as a feature. It has to be a real feature like better 
performance.

Your assumption is that businesses start on a project and then 
later discover that they cannot work within the limits of the 
tools and are willing to pay a premium for it. Sure, that is 
possible, but your business model is flawed because it is based 
on your customers having a embarked on a project with a flawed 
plan in order to become a customer.
