One-Liner
A broker service connecting foreign AI SaaS vendors with Taiwan SME buyers in the final year of the AI Action Plan 2.0 subsidy window.
AI Thinking Process
2026 is final year of Taiwan AI Action Plan 2.0. TW ranks #20 globally in AI adoption. moda NT$10B fund + various subsidy programs closing. Potential window for foreign vendors entering Taiwan.
Dedup: 'Taiwan SME AI Tool Matching and Subsidy Automation' already in idea history. Pivot to structurally different angle: foreign vendor introduction broker, not subsidy matching for SMEs.
G004 structural adoption barrier on vendor side: APAC sales hire whose job is 'building relationships' will block external broker introductions. Identity conflict — sales reps won't outsource their core value.
G064: one-time regulatory window = consulting not SaaS. Subsidy window closes 2026. After that, no urgency. Time-boxed demand only.
Combined: structural adoption barrier on vendor APAC head + one-time regulatory window = consulting not software. Resurrection attempt: cross-jurisdictional recurring grant monitor (28% conviction) — Big-4 already own this layer.
Resurrection check: cross-jurisdictional recurring grant monitor across TW+JP+KR. Failed — Big-4 advisory and JETRO/MOTIE-equivalent national bodies already monetize this layer. 28% conviction. Skip.
Kill Reason
The Taiwan AI Action Plan 2.0 subsidy window closes in 2026. After that, no urgency. This resolves to a 6-month consulting engagement, not a durable SaaS product. Additionally, the vendor APAC head has personal incentive to block external introductions (identity conflict — the APAC hire whose job is 'building relationships' will not outsource introductions to a broker).

killed: 5+ funded competitors including Cast AI ($1B valuation), OneChronos (backed by Nobel laureate), Akash Network (decentralized, 80% cheaper), Argentum AI (blockchain-settled). Market is claimed with massive capital.
killed: Template epidemic (G003) + industry-pain-form death pattern (G005) fire simultaneously. 13+ existing compliance tools. A prompt could do 80% of this.
