Where to look
Ask the Czech law firms under Market gap what they charge to set up report handling, removal reasons and the yearly report for one platform, or ask the person who handles reported posts at a mid-size Czech marketplace what the work costs in staff time; the public contracts register holds no such contract because the buyers are private.

Execution difficulty
2/3 · Moderate
Makes it easier
- No licence is needed to sell the software.
- 2 firms abroad already sell the same thing.
- No Czech firm sells it yet.
Makes it harder
- The software must file each decision with an EU database.
- The buyers are mid-size and large platforms.
- Until the Czech bill passes nobody can fine them for skipping the work.
P-0045 · Czech marketplaces and forums must tell users why each post was removed. A bill would let the regulator fine them up to 6% of turnover.
Execution difficulty
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 Czech-language tool that files a platform's removal decisions in the EU database, and offer it free to one job board or classifieds site.
- Call the person who handles reported posts at a few mid-size Czech marketplaces and job boards.
- Offer one of the Czech law firms under Market gap a partnership.

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 Czech-language tool that files a platform's removal decisions in the EU database, and offer it free to one job board or classifieds site. Many Czech services listed there file nothing, as The opportunity shows, so a site that can start filing without new staff sees the point quickly. Then add report intake and the reason sent to each user.
- Call the person who handles reported posts at a few mid-size Czech marketplaces and job boards. Ask how they answer reports and write the yearly report today, what it costs in staff time, and who helps them. Those answers are the price you do not have yet; see Willing to pay.
- Offer one of the Czech law firms under Market gap a partnership. They advise platforms on the rules and bring the clients; you bring the software that does the daily work and writes the yearly report they would otherwise draft by hand.
- Time your sales to the bill described under Why now. Once it passes, the telecoms regulator can inspect and fine, so have a working product ready for the first platforms it contacts.
