Business Intelligence Report ​
View Full Interactive Report →The Business Intelligence Report covers market research, funding analysis, and commercial strategy for SpektraBot's path to sustainable revenue.
Key findings ​
Market opportunity ​
- £6.6bn cumulative High Needs Block deficit across English LAs.
- 60–80% of LAs are in HNB deficit, creating urgent demand for cost-saving digital tools.
- No LA has deployed fully-automated AI decision-making for SEND. This is a market gap, not a saturated market.
Revenue path ​
| Year | Conservative | Mid-Range | Optimistic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | £50–100K | £100–200K | £200–300K |
| Year 2 | £200–300K | £300–500K | £500–700K |
| Year 3 | £400–600K | £600K–1.2M | £1.2–2.5M |
The killer metric ​
SEND tribunal cases cost the public purse £25K to £30K each. 96% of appeals reaching tribunal are decided in the family's favour. Every 100 tribunals avoided saves the public sector £2.5M to £3M.
Priority funding streams ​
- Innovate UK Smart Grants. £100K to £500K, 70% funded, rolling quarterly.
- National Lottery Community Fund. £10K to £500K over 1 to 5 years.
- DfE Family Hubs Programme. £10K to £250K per LA digital tool contract.
- LA Direct Commissioning. Safety Valve or DBV LAs with dedicated improvement budgets.
Pricing sweet spot ​
- £15K–£30K a year per LA site licence. Within delegated procurement authority, less than one SENDIASS FTE, pays for itself by preventing 1 or 2 Tribunal appeals.
- Entry pilot at £9,999. Stays under direct-award thresholds.
