Derivation Chain

Step 1 Renewed public focus on major disasters
Step 2 Expansion of mandatory disaster safety training
Step 3 Enterprise disaster response training simulation SaaS

Problem

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, workplaces with 50+ employees must conduct disaster evacuation drills at least twice a year, but most end up as perfunctory walkthroughs of evacuation routes. Running scenario-specific response drills for fires, earthquakes, or gas leaks costs $1,500–$3,750 per session from external training providers, plus work disruption costs (approximately $2,250 in half-day productivity loss for a 50-person team). As a result, 80% of workplaces substitute actual drills with 'checklist sign-offs.'

Solution

A browser-based 3D simulation platform for disaster response training. Upload building floor plans to auto-generate fire/earthquake/gas leak scenarios tailored to the building's layout. Employees conduct virtual evacuation drills from their personal PCs or mobile devices. Response time and decision accuracy are measured and compiled into department-level Reports.

Target: Safety managers (occupational safety and health officers) at manufacturing and logistics workplaces with 50–200 employees
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription: up to 50 employees at $74/month, up to 200 employees at $149/month. Custom scenario add-on at $225 each. 20% discount for annual billing.
