- 2/2 means a Czech buyer has paid for this, or a priced job also gets public money that pays part of it. A price on file makes it 1/2. Public money alone earns nothing. Only public buyers publish what they pay, so problems sold to private firms often score lower.

About this section
- What this shows
- Czech companies that already sell this, and firms nearby that sell something else.
- Why it matters to a builder
- A mature Czech seller means taking customers from an incumbent. Firms nearby still matter: the buyer may already pay them.
- How to read the score
- More points mean a more open field. 2/2 means no Czech company sells this, 1/2 only early ones do, 0/2 a mature one does.

About this section
- What this shows
- What stands between you and the first sale: who buys, what permission selling needs, what it must plug into, and whether it needs outside money.
- Why it matters to a builder
- It tells you whether a small team can start selling soon, or needs a licence, a certification or funding first.
- How to read the score
- More points mean easier to enter: 3/3 is easy, 0/3 very hard. It is not added to the Opportunity total, and local competition does not count here: that is Market gap.

Suggested first moves
- Build a video service that gives a small school a psychologist and a special educator for a few hours a week.
- Call the heads of small primary schools that have no psychologist of their own and offer a term's trial.
- Recruit psychologists and special educators who want part-time remote work, including those on parental leave or outside the big cities.

Suggested first moves
About this section
- What this shows
- A few concrete steps to start with.
- Why it matters to a builder
- They are cheap ways to learn whether buyers will pay, before you build much.
- Build a video service that gives a small school a psychologist and a special educator for a few hours a week. The specialists help teachers set up the lighter, first degree of support, which a school may give without waiting for a counselling centre, and they prepare the cases that do need the centre. Keep a simple record of what was tried with each pupil, because the centre will ask for it; see The opportunity.
- Call the heads of small primary schools that have no psychologist of their own and offer a term's trial. The state pays schools for these posts by school size, and the smallest schools get too little for a post of their own; see Willing to pay. Some schools already pay freelancers for a psychologist's time, so the purchase is familiar.
- Recruit psychologists and special educators who want part-time remote work, including those on parental leave or outside the big cities. Psychologists are scarce, as The opportunity shows, so the service works only if it reaches people who are not in the job market full time.
- Visit the director of one regional counselling centre and agree how the school's cases reach it. The centre keeps the formal assessment and the recommendation, and it gains cases that arrive prepared; see Why now. A centre that trusts the service may send schools on its waiting list your way.
- Watch the planned new rules for counselling centres, and apply to register as a private centre if the service outgrows the school role. Only a registered centre can issue the formal recommendation, as Execution difficulty explains.
