Each one is a complete business, not a demo. Revenue estimates are conservative and show the math. These are illustrative estimates based on stated assumptions, not guarantees of revenue. All three are positioned as research tools for first-pass checks — not a substitute for a lawyer.

Startups hiring across borders need a fast way to sanity-check minimum wage, employment rights, and notice periods before an offer goes out. HireAnywhere Check is a dashboard widget HR teams paste a country code into and get an instant first-pass summary — clearly labelled as informational research, not legal sign-off. Sell as a B2B embed to HR platforms and remote-employment SaaS tools.

Revenue Math
