Step 2 Supporting defense Startup bid participation
→
Step 3 Automatic military-to-civilian terminology translation for bid specifications

Problem

IT/software Startups newly entering the defense market spend 3–5 days per document and 2–5 million KRW (~$1,500–$3,750) in external consulting to decode specialized terminology and abbreviations in military specifications (KDS, MIL-STD, etc.). While the government announced plans to nurture 100 defense Startups by 2030, non-defense civilian teams face specification comprehension as their first barrier to entry.

Solution

A SaaS where users upload military specifications (KDS, MIL-STD, KSCO) to automatically map military terms to civilian IT terminology and convert requirements into structured checklists. Core features: (1) military-to-civilian terminology auto-mapping dictionary, (2) specification PDF → structured requirement extraction, (3) similar past bid case matching.

Target: IT/SW Startups newly entering the defense market (5–20 employees), defense consulting Freelancers
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly flat rate of 99,000 KRW (~$74)/account (10 specifications/month), additional specs at 15,000 KRW (~$11) each. 20% discount for Annual Subscription.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
