Intelletto.ai — Short-Term Business Plan (Seed: $200,000) — Expanded

A deeper, investor-ready narrative with preserved cash-flow projection and execution details.

1. Executive Summary

Intelletto.ai transforms résumé-heavy recruiting into a defensible, explainable intelligence workflow. Instead of adding another monolithic system, we bolt on a sidecar that parses, deduplicates, and scores candidates with human-in-the-loop transparency. We begin with a stand-alone recruiter portal and step into enterprise with an SAP SuccessFactors connector.

Our seed plan is intentionally pragmatic: ship fast, validate with high-volume customers, convert pilots to paid MRR, then embed where enterprises already work. With $200,000 in seed capital, we target a live portal by Month 4-6, SAP connector by Month 7-8, and a run-rate of $10K-$15K MRR anchored by BPOs, e-commerce/logistics, and a first conglomerate pilot.

Investor takeaway: capital efficient, fast to traction, and architected for enterprise upsell via sidecar integration.

2. Market Opportunity

The near-term opportunity clusters around three employe-dense segments where résumé volume and recruiter time are under pressure:

  • BPO/Shared Services (Focus #1) — 200-1,000 hires per month per site; attrition and throughput demand faster, defensible shortlists.
  • E-Commerce, Retail & Logistics (Focus #2) — peak seasons (11.11, 12.12, Christmas) create parsing surges our transactional model fits perfectly.
  • Conglomerates/Enterprises (Focus #3) — entrenched HR stacks; our SAP connector converts proven results into annual enterprise contracts.

We execute a two-step wedge: stand-alone portal for speedSAP sidecar for depth. This sequence reduces IT friction, proves ROI quickly, and positions us for multi-BU enterprise expansion.

3. Strategic Objectives (6-8 Months)

  1. Stand-Alone MVP (M0-M4): Upload → Parse → Deduplicate → Explainable Score → Export shortlist.
  2. BPO Pilot Launch (M3-M4): Two live pilots with production résumés and recruiter feedback loops.
  3. Monetize (M5-M6): Convert pilots to paid; add e-commerce/logistics during seasonal hiring bursts.
  4. SAP Connector (M6-M8): Embed scoring into SuccessFactors Recruiting events and recruiter flows.
  5. Financial Target (M8): Close the period at $10K-$15K MRR and at least one SAP pilot.

These objectives are designed to validate demand, compress time-to-revenue, and derisk enterprise adoption ahead of our follow-on raise.

4. Product Roadmap

  • Stand-Alone Portal (Priority): Upload multi-format résumés; parse via AWS Textract; clean and normalize via Python; dedupe with fingerprinting; score via Bedrock + Titan embeddings; export ranked shortlists and rationale.
  • Explainable Scoring: Every score includes signals, weights, confidence, and plain-English rationale; recruiters can accept/override with reasons captured for learning.
  • SAP Connector (Phase 2): API + event-hook sidecar that injects scores and explanations directly into candidate/requisition screens and shortlist actions.

Across both tracks we emphasize low-ops reliability, observability, and compliance-by-design to satisfy enterprise standards without slowing delivery.

5. Why We Win (Moat & GTM Fit)

  • Sidecar, not rip-and-replace: We work with existing ATS/HRIS, accelerating adoption and shrinking sales cycles.
  • Explainability by default: Recruiter trust rises when the "why" is visible. This also supports audits and governance.
  • Closed-loop learning: Recruiter actions and hiring outcomes improve future ranking for measurable ROI.
  • Transactional pricing: Maps cleanly to volume spikes; easy pilot SOWs (10-20k résumés) make value obvious.

6. Capital Allocation ($200,000)

  • Product Development (60% - $120,000): Portal, APIs, SAP connector, observability, testing.
  • Cloud Infra & Tools (20% - $40,000): Bedrock, OpenSearch, Textract, embeddings, monitoring.
  • Compliance & Data (5% - $10,000): Datasets, SOC2-lite controls, GDPR/PDPA readiness.
  • Operations & Founder Draw (15% - $30,000): Essential ops and minimal founder expenses (~$3K/month).

Allocation concentrates capital on shipping the product, proving trust signals, and preserving runway.

7. 8-Month Cash-Flow Projection

Assumptions

  • Founder-led sales (no sales salaries).
  • Minimal founder draw ~ $3K/month shared.
  • Cloud spend scales with pilot volume.
  • Compliance/data costs are front-loaded (≈ $10K total).
  • Revenue starts Month 5, ramping to $10K-$15K MRR by Month 8.

M87,5008,000-3,00015,0003,50026,500

Highlights: Runway preserved with ≈ $26.5K after Month 8; revenue climbs M5 → M8; spend weighted to shipping MVP, de-risking compliance, and enabling SAP connector.

8. Revenue Model & Unit Economics

  • Transactional SaaS: $0.20/resume (standard), $0.28/resume (premium).
  • Volume Target (M8): 50K-75K résumés/month → $10K-$15K MRR.
  • Enterprise Contracts (SAP): $50K-$100K per year for sidecar deployments across business units.
  • Infra targets: ≤ $0.03-$0.05 per résumé (batching, caching, scoped retrieval).
  • Gross margin: 75-85% at current price points; expands with scale and model optimizations.

Hybrid monetization lowers time-to-revenue (transactional) while unlocking stickier multi-year contracts (enterprise).

9. Risks & Mitigation

  • Adoption: Start stand-alone to bypass IT queues; deliver value inside weeks with pilot SOWs.
  • Build Speed: Lean on AWS-managed AI and proven libraries to compress cycles.
  • Integration Scope: Limit SAP Phase 1 to Recruiting; expand surface area only after traction.
  • Cash Discipline: Minimal founder draw; infra scales only with usage; monthly burn monitored.

Risk posture: narrow scope, fast feedback, measurable ROI.

10. Expected Outcome (By Month 8)

  • Paying BPO and e-commerce/logistics customers using the stand-alone product in production.
  • First conglomerate SAP pilot live with embedded scoring and explanations.
  • Run-rate of $10K-$15K MRR with clear expansion path.
  • ROI case studies ready for investor and enterprise committees.
  • Positioned for a $1M+ raise to scale AVAR and Workforce Intelligence.
