Suggested solution
Build a checking service that compares each tender and each report a town or firm files under a grant with that grant's rules before it goes out, as similar services already do for grant reports, not tenders, in the United States and Poland.
- The town or firm with the grant. Today: Picks suppliers for what the grant pays for. With the suggested solution: Has each tender checked before signing.
- The town or firm with the grant. Today: Reports units, results and sustainability to the funder. With the suggested solution: Has each report checked before sending.
- Who does this is not known. Today: Whether anyone checks these files first is not known. With the suggested solution: A checker compares every file with the grant rules.
- Tax office. Today: Audits the spending, often after a tip-off. With the suggested solution: Audits the spending as before.
- Tax office. Today: Orders money back, plus a late penalty. With the suggested solution: Has fewer faults left to order back.
- The town or firm with the grant. Today: Appeals, sues or asks for a waiver. With the suggested solution: Has fewer paybacks to fight.

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.

Local competition does not change this level. It is covered under Market gap.
Suggested first moves
- Build a checklist for one per-unit grant, such as childcare, that compares attendance records with the units claimed before each report goes out.
- Ask the finance heads of a few small towns which grant tenders an outside firm runs for them and which they run themselves.
- Offer a fixed-price second look at a finished tender file before the town signs the contract.

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 checklist for one per-unit grant, such as childcare, that compares attendance records with the units claimed before each report goes out. That is the kind of fault the tax offices name, as The opportunity shows. Run it for one operator for a quarter and show where the two did not match.
- Ask the finance heads of a few small towns which grant tenders an outside firm runs for them and which they run themselves. The finance ministry says small towns have the least staff to check their own spending, so the ones they run alone are where a second look helps; see The opportunity.
- Offer a fixed-price second look at a finished tender file before the town signs the contract. Sell it to towns that run their own tenders, and to the firms under Market gap as a second pair of eyes on their work.
- Collect the tax offices' and the courts' published decisions on these paybacks and turn them into the list of faults you check. Grant holders fight many of these orders, as Why now shows, so the decisions spell out what was rejected and why.
