# 24-month roadmap **Menteia KYC** — AI identity verification against INE and RENAPO in under 2 minutes, via link, no app, pay per use.
## Next 8 weeks (before asking for money) What YC recommends doing first: talk to users, charge early and get 10 customers who actually use the product. - Split out KYC revenue and calculate margin per verification. - Sign 3 new customers (fintech, SOFIPO, MVNO). - Start iBeta level 1 certification. - Publish the incident postmortem. Milestones tied to the use of funds. Each quarter has a deliverable the investor can verify. ## Months 1–6: Trust - iBeta liveness certification - Privacy notice and contracts - 5 new clients ## Months 7–12: Commercial scale - 15 active clients - Integration with 2 financial cores - Advanced e-signature ## Months 13–18: AML product - PEP and sanctions lists - Ongoing monitoring - First client outside Mexico ## Months 19–24: Platform - 45k verifications per month - Break-even - Prepare Series A ## Features that answer competitors' customer complaints Taken from 09_Competencia_y_Quejas: what customers complain about with competitors that we do not fully cover yet. ### Months 1–6 - **Real-time guided capture and passive liveness** (partial, high): Current liveness is active (head turns); missing on-screen light/framing guidance and a passive option to cut retries, the #1 end-user complaint. - **iBeta (ISO 30107-3) liveness certification** (missing, high): Table stakes for financial procurement; already on the months 1–6 roadmap. - **Manual review desk and second chance for borderline cases** (missing, high): Decision is Approved/Rejected today; missing an 'in review' state, compliance-officer queue and assisted retry to cut false rejections. - **Official-source fallback (INE → RENAPO / secondary provider)** (partial, high): Sources are queried via Verificamex and RENAPO; missing automatic failover and a documented degraded decision when an official source is down. - **Biometric retention and deletion policy (LFPDPPP)** (partial, high): Privacy notice and contracts are on the roadmap; missing configurable auto-deletion and evidence for the customer. ### Months 7–12 - **End-user help channel inside the flow** (missing, medium): Help/WhatsApp button during capture so stuck users have a way out. - **Per-customer conversion and false-rejection metrics** (missing, medium): Dashboard of approval, drop-off and rejection reasons; buyers ask for it when evaluating vendors. - **Native iOS/Android and web SDKs** (missing, medium): Flutter SDK and link today; global players ship native SDKs by default. - **Advanced e-signature** (missing, medium): On the months 7–12 roadmap. ### Months 13–18 - **PEP/sanctions screening and ongoing monitoring** (missing, medium): Table stakes at Sumsub, Veriff and MetaMap; on the months 13–18 roadmap. - **Multi-country coverage** (missing, low): Global players cover 200+ countries; one additional country is enough for Menteia (months 13–18 roadmap). ## Metrics we will report every quarter - Verifications per month - Active clients - Approval rate and fraud detected - Revenue and margin per verification - Uptime (SLA) - Average time per verification
