Problem

Following serial motel murders, public anxiety about Accommodation safety has surged, yet consumers have no single source to check CCTV installation, emergency exit locations, police dispatch history, or hygiene inspection results when booking. Searching individually takes 20-30 minutes on average, and fragmented information makes informed decisions difficult.

Solution

Aggregates data from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Living Safety Map (crime alert zones), fire safety inspection results, hygiene inspection data, and user review sentiment analysis to calculate a 'Safety Rating (A-F)' for each Accommodation. Maps to properties on Naver Map/Yanolja and provides a browser extension and mobile view for checking safety ratings before booking.

Target: Solo female travelers ages 20-40, family travelers ages 30-40 traveling with children, frequent business travelers
Revenue Model: Premium Model: Free (basic rating access), Pro at $14/month (detailed Report + real-time alerts + route safety scores). Partner Accommodation referral commission ($0.75-2.25 per booking).
Ecosystem Role: Consumer
