Problem

As AI adoption triggers department-level layoffs in finance, insurance, and securities firms, affected employees accept company offers without properly understanding severance calculation methods (DC vs. DB conversion timing), unemployment benefit eligibility, and retirement allowance negotiation. According to the Korea Labor Institute, workers frequently receive 3-8 million KRW (approx. $2,250-$6,000) less due to severance-related errors, and labor attorney consultations cost 200,000-500,000 KRW (approx. $150-$375) per session, making them less accessible.

Solution

By entering basic information such as years of service, salary, and retirement pension type, the service simulates severance amounts for different scenarios and AI coaches the optimal strategy. (1) Simulate severance differences when converting between DB and DC types; (2) compare scenarios of retirement allowance vs. recommended resignation; (3) automatically determine eligibility for unemployment benefits, re-employment allowances, and vocational training costs, and provide application guides.

Target: Employees in their 40s and 50s at large financial, insurance, and IT companies who are aware of layoff risks, and labor union counseling departments.
Revenue Model: Basic simulation free, detailed coaching report 19,000 KRW (approx. $14.25) per report, premium monthly subscription 39,000 KRW (approx. $29.25) (unlimited scenarios + legal update notifications).
