Step 2 Experienced professionals transitioning to freelance work

Step 3 Signing contracts without recognizing unfavorable clauses

Problem

When workers in their late 50s retire and transition to Freelancer or consultant roles leveraging their career experience, they cannot assess unfavorable key clauses in service contracts sent by clients — such as IP ownership, penalty clauses, non-compete agreements, and payment terms. Having worked as salaried employees for 30 years, they have virtually no experience reviewing contracts themselves. Damages from unfavorable clauses — including non-payment after project completion or inability to take other work due to non-compete restrictions — amount to $750–$3,750 (KRW 1–5 million) per incident.

Solution

Upload a contract PDF or photo, and the system automatically detects key clauses unfavorable to freelancers (IP rights, penalties, non-compete, payment terms, termination clauses), flags them by risk level (High/Medium/Low), and provides sample revision request language for each clause. It also shows a gap analysis comparing the contract against industry-standard templates (IT, Design, Consulting, Education).

Target: Ages 53–62, 1–2 years into post-retirement Freelancer transition, IT/management consulting/Education fields, limited contract review experience

Revenue Model: 3 Free analyses per year. Unlimited analysis + revision language generation at $3.70/month (KRW 4,900). Labor attorney/lawyer consultation referral commissions.
