Problem

When SNS or Marketplace platforms (Naver Smartstore, Coupang, Instagram) experience outages, sellers who want to claim fee reductions or compensation for revenue loss must manually capture traffic, order, and reach data from the time of the outage. This takes an average of 3-5 hours, and over 70% of claims are denied due to insufficient evidence.

Solution

Monitors real-time metrics from connected seller accounts, and when a platform outage is detected, automatically captures a snapshot of the impact scope (revenue decline, traffic drop, order failures) and generates a PDF evidence document for compensation claims. Cross-validates with Downdetector data.

Target: Multi-channel sellers on Naver Smartstore and Coupang with monthly revenue of $7,500-$75,000 (~10M-100M KRW)
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at $21.75/store (~29,000 KRW), additional $1.50 per evidence document (~2,000 KRW), 25% discount for Annual Subscription
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
