Executive Summary

Many job seekers and distributed hiring teams waste time chasing postings labeled "remote" that in practice restrict location, require local entities, or block cross-border hiring; this creates real friction for an estimated 100M remote-capable professionals. Recruiters and candidates need reliable metadata that distinguishes truly "remote-from-anywhere" roles from marketing language. You could build an AI-powered service that parses job text, runs automated checks against payroll and compliance APIs and employer hiring policies, and surfaces a verified "remote-from-anywhere" badge plus filters, a browser/aggregator integration, and an employer dashboard. Monetization would combine a consumer subscription and premium employer services—matching the $60 ARPU/year assumption underpinning the market model. The timing is compelling: a $6.0B addressable market (100M × $60 ARPU/year), remote work normalization, and mature payroll/compliance APIs make this product technically and commercially viable now; market attractiveness scores 82/100 and revenue potential 88/100 with medium competition. The competitive edge is a trust-first product that pairs robust NLP extraction with live API-backed verification and a verified-job index that creates network effects, but challenges include achieving high verification accuracy, dependency on third-party APIs, and navigating cross-border legal complexity. If you can demonstrate >95% verification accuracy and a clear employer incentive to self-verify, this idea is worth building.
