| Target Demographics | B2B decision-makers: operations, security and compliance managers, 30–55, any gender/ethnicity; interests in logistics, supply-chain security, AI and regtech. |
| Description | Build a SaaS that ingests shipping manifests, commercial invoices, HS codes, shipper/consignee history and available X-ray/scan images. A rules-plus-ML engine scores every shipment for concealment risk: weight anomalies, declared value vs goods mismatch, high-risk routes, and known concealment patterns (e.g., cosmetics like ‘eyelash remover’ with abnormal density). High-risk shipments are flagged for physical inspection and routed into a compliance workflow. Offer an API so brokers can plug it into existing customs/logistics software (Descartes, WiseTech, CargoWise). Start with a rules engine and simple dashboard as MVP, then add image anomaly detection. |
| Monetization | Tiered SaaS: $299/month per broker for up to 500 shipments; $999/month for up to 2,500 shipments; $0.10 per additional shipment; enterprise plans from $5,000/month. Optional X-ray image anomaly-detection add-on at $500/month. Onboarding/setup fee $1,500. |
