Problem

Casting directors at small-to-mid-sized K-drama production companies ($375K-$2.25M annual revenue) manually collect each actor's schedule, market rate, recent project reputation, and social media reception across portals, news sites, and online communities. Casting research averages 2-3 weeks and $1,500-$3,000 in labor costs per project.

Solution

An automated casting decision dashboard that aggregates actor profiles, filmographies, real-time social media reactions, and news sentiment. Key features: (1) Auto-calculated buzz index and recent project performance per actor, (2) Schedule conflict simulation, (3) Market rate range estimation based on comparable profiles.

Target: Drama production companies with 5-20 employees, independent casting directors
Revenue Model: SaaS monthly subscription: $75/team (5 seats). Per-project billing: $220 per project.
Ecosystem Role: Infrastructure
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
