Step 3 Automated cost-benefit analysis tool for pre-adoption AI wildfire Solutions

Problem

Fire departments and Korea Forest Service regional offices across the country are evaluating AI wildfire detection systems, but lack the specialized staff to calculate ROI compared to existing personnel. Each local government spends 2–4 weeks preparing ROI reports for budget requests, and external consulting costs ~$3,750–$7,500 Per Transaction.

Solution

Input jurisdictional area, forest coverage ratio, historical wildfire records, and current staffing/equipment status to automatically calculate projected costs, detection time reduction rates, and damage savings for each AI wildfire detection Solution type (drone, CCTV-AI, satellite). Generates budget-request-ready reports in PDF.

Target: Wildfire divisions at all 229 fire departments nationwide, 5 regional Korea Forest Service offices, local government disaster safety departments

Revenue Model: Per Transaction Report Billing: basic Report ~$225, detailed analysis (vendor comparison included) ~$600. Annual Subscription at ~$112/month (unlimited generation)
