Problem

AI startups (5-30 employees) face high risk of trade secret leakage (model architecture, training data, prompts, etc.) when key personnel leave, but lack dedicated legal teams to build internal systems that meet secrecy management requirements. Cases where companies lose trade secret disputes due to failure to meet 'secrecy management' standards are frequent.

Solution

Provides a secrecy management checklist based on Korea's Trade Secret Protection Act, and automatically generates confidentiality classifications, access controls, and departure NDAs for AI-specific assets (model weights, training data, prompts, fine-tuning configurations, etc.). Delivers quarterly self-audit reports and legal response templates.
