Derivation Chain

Step 1 Mandatory OS-level age verification
→
Step 2 Widespread adoption of age verification solutions
→
Step 3 SaaS for age verification system availability monitoring

Problem

When app services depend on external age verification SDKs/APIs, any outage in those services completely blocks new user sign-ups. Korean identity verification APIs (NICE, KCB, etc.) experience irregular outages 1–2 times per month, and it takes an average of 30 minutes to 1 hour to detect them—during which new sign-up conversion drops to 0%. Small teams lack the resources to build dedicated monitoring Infrastructure.

Solution

Monitors response time and success rate of major age verification APIs/SDKs (NICE, KCB, PASS, Yoti, ID.me, etc.) at 5-minute intervals and sends instant alerts via Slack, SMS, or email upon outage detection. An outage history dashboard lets users compare each verification service's SLA performance, and the system automatically suggests fallback authentication paths during outages.

Target: DevOps and backend developers at Korean app/web Startups with 3–20 employees that use external identity verification APIs
