Problem

Developers of AI image/video generation tools (including startups) must manually test whether watermarks and metadata remain intact under various transformation scenarios such as resizing, format conversion, screenshots, and social media uploads when implementing watermark and metadata features to meet country-specific labeling regulations. This consumes over 10 hours per week per QA engineer while coverage remains insufficient, leaving regulatory violation risks.

Solution

(1) Upload watermarked images/videos and automatically apply 50+ transformation scenarios (resize, crop, compression, social media simulation, etc.), (2) generate reports on watermark detection rate and metadata preservation rate for each scenario, and (3) provide C2PA and IPTC standard compliance check results in a format integrable into CI/CD pipelines.

Target: QA engineers and CTOs at AI image/video generation SaaS developers (AI startups with 5-50 employees).
Revenue Model: API billing: 200 KRW per transaction (approx. $0.15) per scenario set, monthly plan: 99,000 KRW/month (approx. $74.25) for 1,000 sets, enterprise pricing on request.
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
