Problem

Like Selvas AI earning Tech Market certification for 'Selvas Note,' small-to-mid-size software companies seek government procurement Tech Market certification to enter the public sector market. However, preparing certification documents (technical evaluation reports, test certificates, business plans) takes an average of 2-3 months, and over 40% of applicants fail first-round review due to misinterpretation of evaluation criteria. Outsourcing to consultants costs 5-10M KRW (~$3,750-$7,500) per engagement.

Solution

A self-coaching SaaS where users select the certification type (innovative product, excellent product, performance certification, etc.), run a self-assessment against each evaluation criterion, receive specific guidance on deficiencies, and get section-by-section writing guides, examples, and auto-generated drafts for each document. Includes anonymized benchmark references from previously certified applicants.

Target: CEOs and planning teams at software SMEs with 5-30 employees; Startups preparing for government procurement market entry
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at 99K KRW (~$74)/account; expert review feedback session at 290K KRW (~$217); optional success fee of 1M KRW (~$750) upon certification
Ecosystem Role: Education
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
