Problem

The National Growth Fund is accelerating investment in secondary battery (EV battery) factories, driving a surge in permitting demand for new plant construction and expansion. Battery factories require 10+ permits to be processed in parallel and sequentially — including environmental impact assessments, hazardous materials storage permits, and industrial complex occupancy approvals. Failure to identify dependencies between permits causes average delays of 3–6 months. Each permit delay costs hundreds of millions of KRW (~$75K–$750K+) per month in lost factory operation time.

Solution

Automatically generates the required permit checklist by battery factory type (cathode, anode, cell, module) and visualizes inter-permit dependencies on a Gantt chart. It provides estimated processing times, responsible agencies, and required documents for each permit, while tracking progress and issuing early warnings for delay risks.

Target: Construction/facilities teams at battery materials and cell manufacturers (50–500 employees); factory construction PM consulting firms
Revenue Model: Per-project billing: ~$290/month (~390,000 KRW) per project; Enterprise annual license: ~$18,000 (~24M KRW) for unlimited projects
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
