PRD State-based agencies E2E solution

Comprehensive Compliance Coverage

State agencies must adhere to a wide array of regulations across different domains. A common unmet need is a centralized solution that can map and manage all the diverse compliance requirements a state agency needs to adhere to efficiently.

Up-to-date Regulatory Information

Regulations frequently change. State agencies need a tool that provides real-time updates on regulatory changes to ensure continuous compliance., pains & gains that our solution could alleviate

Why do they have to solve these now? Reason-to-act?

Is this problem at scale or local/trivial?

Pains:

• Resource Intensiveness: Manual compliance processes are often time-consuming and require substantial manpower, diverting resources from other critical tasks.

• Risk of Non-compliance: The complexity and evolving nature of regulations pose a constant risk of non-compliance, which can result in significant penalties and reputational damage.

• Information Overload: Sifting through vast amounts of regulatory information to identify relevant requirements is overwhelming and prone to errors.

• Lack of Expertise: Limited access to compliance expertise can make navigating regulatory landscapes challenging, especially for less common or new regulations.

Gains:

• Efficiency and Cost Savings: Automating compliance processes can significantly reduce the time and resources required for compliance management, leading to cost savings.

• Risk Mitigation: Real-time updates and proactive compliance management help mitigate the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties.

• Enhanced Compliance Oversight: A centralized dashboard for tracking compliance status across various regulations enhances oversight and decision-making capabilities.

• Improved Regulatory Insight: Access to expert analysis and interpretations of regulations can improve understanding and compliance strategies.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The whole universe of state agencies who experience this need.

The average number of agencies per state is 150. Which more or less would bring us to 7,500 potential customers in this initiative.

Serviceable Available Market (SAM)

The part of this market that we can realistically reach and convert in a medium- to long-term.

If we assume that we can close 2% of that business that is 3 deals per state. Not accounting for a price increase that is 3 agencies x 50 states = 150 CCH Accounts. 150 accounts x $10,000 = $1.5M

What can we realistically capture of this market in 18-24 months after solution launch? What are our beach-heads? Taking into account our
