⚠️ PROBLEM
$176.5B / yr
US work-injury cost (NSC 2023) · 5,283 deaths (BLS 2023). Cameras on every wall, safety software everywhere — and the inspection report is still typed by hand, one photo at a time.
Korea, measured: 9,000 pages a year per inspector
⚙️ THE ENGINE
Video for machines
Feature coding for machines — MPEG standard contributions by name (VCM / FCM). Measured by an accredited lab (reports 2026-009 / 010-VSW-K): video 99.7% smaller, 7.97% mAP drop. A VLM tuned on factory hazards, with the legal taxonomy encoded as rules.

📹 PRODUCT
One walkthrough → the signed report
Phone or the cameras already on the wall. The VLM finds every hazard type in one pass, scores it and drafts the report in the required format. The inspector reviews and signs.

✍️ CUSTOMER
Whoever signs the report
US: 174,300 safety professionals (BLS 2025, +19% by 2035) — plant EHS, insurers' loss-control engineers, consultants. Korea: the law routes 35,487 factories through 498 licensed agencies — our proof market.
Workers' comp is mandatory in nearly every US state; premiums track losses, so insurers walk the floor
📈 MARKET
$3–5M → $207M
Proof market: 498 Korean agencies × ≈$8K/yr = $3–5M. US: 174,300 safety professionals × $99 / seat × 12 ≈ $207M / yr addressable — against a $176.5B annual injury cost.

💳 BUSINESS MODEL
$99 / seat / month
Seat subscription sold to the signer — 1.4% of a safety professional's median pay; one saved evening a month covers it. One insurer's loss-control team (350 engineers) ≈ $415K / yr. Enterprise tier per plant.
Korea beachhead at $36 / seat: 498 agencies ≈ $3–5M / yr
✅ TRACTION
≈ $70K paid · live
Global auto-parts supplier (tier-1 chain) — paid deployment, detection running live. Licensed safety agency — pilot in discussion. KOSDAQ-listed manufacturer — inbound.

They detect, or they checklist
Mitti (ex-SafetyCulture, AU$2.5B) and HSI: checklists and photo tags — the human still finds every hazard. Intenseye · Voxel · Protex: fixed-camera alarms, priced per zone, no report. 53 companies surveyed — none we found turns a walkthrough into the signed report.

👥 TEAM & ASK
Two technical co-founders
Jiho Moon, CEO — 4 years selling vision AI into factories, bootstrapped; TTA standards committee. Minho Park, CTO — MPEG contributor by name; leads 6 engineers. 8 people, all on this product.
The ask: enterprise go-to-market — which US door first (our hypothesis: insurers' loss control) and the US seller
| 🇰🇷 KOREA — PROOF MARKET | 🇺🇸 UNITED STATES — SCALE MARKET |
|---|
| What forces it | The law — outsourcing duty, executive liability | Money — mandatory workers' comp premiums (E-Mod), state rules, OSHA fines |
| Who signs | Licensed-agency inspector, by name | Plant EHS · insurers' loss-control engineers · consultants (NY: state-certified) |
| Insurance | One public insurer — no insurer walks the floor | Private carriers — one runs ≈120,000 site consultations a year; Texas makes it a legal duty |
| The paper | 3 statutory forms, 2 visits a month | PPE hazard-assessment certificate (federal) · IIPP inspection records (CA) · consultant report (NY) · insurer survey (TX) |
| Penalty | Fines from Jan 2027 · criminal liability | $16,550 serious · $165,514 willful · NY +5% premium per year of non-compliance |
| Scale | 35,487 factories · 498 agencies · $27B injury cost · seats ≈ $3–5M/yr | 8M+ worksites · 174,300 safety pros · $176.5B injury cost · seats ≈ $207M/yr |
Korea pays because it must. America pays because it costs $176 billion a year not to.
