# Executive Summary

## The Challenge

Government licensing in Goa processes over 50,000 applications annually across 15+ departments. Current paper-based systems result in:

- 45-90 day average processing times
- Estimated 8-12% fraudulent documents in circulation
- No real-time tracking for citizens
- Incomplete audit trails leading to compliance gaps
- High staff overhead on administrative tasks

## The Solution

License Authority digitizes the complete license lifecycle:

1. **Online application** with DigiLocker integration
2. **Automated workflow** with configurable approval stages
3. **Blockchain-issued certificates** that cannot be forged
4. **Real-time tracking** for applicants and administrators
5. **Complete audit trail** for every transaction
