Derivation Chain

Step 1 Growth of webtoon-to-film/drama IP business
→
Step 2 Increasing complexity of IP licensing revenue settlement
→
Step 3 Automated revenue tracking and settlement per derivative product

Problem

Webtoon creators and small IP management firms (1-5 people) tracking derivative licensing revenue from film adaptations, merchandise, games, etc. face partner companies sending settlement statements in different formats and on different schedules, with contract terms (MG, royalty rates, settlement periods) varying per deal. Managing 10+ derivative contracts consumes 15-20 hours monthly on statement reconciliation, and under-settlement discovery is delayed by an average of 3-6 months.

Solution

After registering derivative licensing contract terms, automatically parses each partner's settlement statements (PDF/Excel) and verifies settlement accuracy against contract conditions. Provides per-product and per-partner revenue dashboards with automatic flagging of suspected under-settlements.

Target: Webtoon/web novel creators (annual IP revenue $37,500+), small IP management firms (1-5 people)
Revenue Model: Basic ~$29/mo (10 contracts), Pro ~$74/mo (50 contracts), 10% of recovered amount on successful under-settlement claims
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
