Red Flags
ProWriting and speaking AI grading is genuinely difficult to do well. If your AI feedback is wrong or unhelpful, students lose trust immediately and return to free alternatives they know they can rely on.
Kompetanse Norge (the government body that administers Norskprøven) could publish a free official digital prep tool at any time. One government decision ends your primary market.
The addressable market is structurally small: approximately 30,000–40,000 people take Norskprøven per year. Even capturing 30% at $20/user is only $180,000–$240,000 in annual revenue, a lifestyle business ceiling.

How to start
1
Build the reading/listening/grammar engine first, bounded, multiple-choice, quick to ship.
2
Add the real wedge: AI feedback on writing and speaking, the skills nobody else automates well.
3
Localize the UI and explanations into ONE underserved language, done excellently (not English first).
4
Grow via app stores, SEO, and immigrant communities; cross-sell the citizenship tests.
