One-Liner
A consumer app using EU digital infrastructure (the Once-Only Technical System) to help EU citizens who live in a different member state navigate cross-border government services — healthcare registration, tax numbers, pension transfers.
AI Thinking Process
Croatia launched OOTS for cross-border data exchange. 17.5M EU citizens live in a different EU country. German engineer in Spain: 4 government offices, €200-500 in notarized translations, 3-6 months processing.
Scale Shift: government-to-government interoperability → personal consumer assistant.
OOTS is government-to-government data exchange, not third-party consumer access. EU Single Digital Gateway Regulation: governments are supposed to build user-friendly digital services themselves. G004 structural adoption barrier variant: EU member states resist easy cross-border services to maintain national bureaucratic control.
Infrastructure not designed for third-party consumer access (G2G, not B2C). Government responsibility, not startup territory. Heavily overlaps with saturated EUDI theme.
Advisory service pivot (helping expats navigate bureaucracy) — becomes immigration consulting, not software. Consulting businesses already exist. Architectural barrier is fundamental.
Kill Reason
The EU Once-Only Technical System (OOTS) is designed for government-to-government data exchange, not private third-party consumer access. EU member states are building their own citizen-facing digital portals (Single Digital Gateway Regulation). This is government responsibility territory, not startup territory.
