Executive summary
The team of INTRO TECHNOLOGY RUS, JSC, is glad to present the INTRO Token that will become a license
to the INTRO Services for real estate market participants.
Our team has been creating software for developers since 2016. Our IT-project was originally initiated by the
Gosstroy Group, a major Russian real estate development holding, est. in 2009. Today, the development
portfolio of Gosstroy includes 14 completed residential and commercial objects, as well as 13 under-construction
buildings with total area of about 150,000 sq.m. By construction volume, Gosstroy is one of Top 150 developers
in Russia.
In early 2017, the IT Division of Gosstroy was separated as an independent business and registered as INTRO
TECHNOLOGY RUS, JSC. In early 2018, the company had 42 staff members and about 20 freelance
contractors. The main profile of the company is the creation of Business Intelligence System for off-plan property
investors, as well as the development of IT-products for business and state actors.
The rapid growth is largely caused by the growing demand for BI systems from market players and regulators.
Over 20 construction companies, several governmental agencies and industrial associations is now using the
products of INTRO RUS. Our users include the representatives of National Association of Housing Developers,
Union of Construction Companies of Ural and Siberia, Chelyabinsk Interregional Union of Builders and other
professionals from 18 parts of Russia, where INTRO business is present.
However, the potential of scaling of our BI system is not limited to the market of Russia and the CIS countries.
According to our research, more than 10 million homebuyers a year invest in off-plan properties in the BRICS
countries. Most of the residential property in India, Brazil and Russia are sold at the construction stage. Still, off-
plan development remains a risky investment due to low market transparency.
We were the first to use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to collect and process data on off-plan development
investments from the official state registries. Now our system INTRO Analytica quickly processes raw data on
property rights claims, helping to create accurate market forecasts. At the next step, we plan to integrate the
blockchain technology for data protection and secure transactions between developers, investors and home
buyers.
Our mission is to make the global off-plan property market transparent and to protect the developers
and homebuyers against insecure investment.
INTRO Tokens will become the access key for the INTRO ecosystem, which brings together developers,
investors and home buyers from all over the world.

Executive summary
Why we believe that the demand for INTRO Tokens will grow?
Here are the most significant benefits:
1. INTRO services are created in cooperation with experienced developers of the Gosstroy Group,
representatives of state agencies, real estate agents and other experts.
2. The development of two INTRO products — INTRO Analytica and INTRO Sale — has been completed by
now. You can test the web applications from your PC right now.

per month.
4. The pre-launch subscribers pull is collected for those products that are still in development. INTRO Sale
release in Russia is awaited by 20 developers and 3 major real estate agencies. INTRO COINvest has over
1,000 early subscribers among Russian home-buyers.
5. Marketing & legal support in target foreign markets will be provided by local agents.
6. INTRO Tokens are an integral part of the INTRO ecosystem. They are used in reward programme and
provide access to the maximum service packs.
7. The use of BI system provides a strategic advantage for the real estate market players: developers, real
estate brokers and private investors.
8. Token emission is limited and global expansion of service will increase Token value.
9. Launch of new services in the INTRO ecosystem will increase the demand for Tokens.
10. After ICO all operations within the system will be transferred into Token-based transactions.
11. Tokens received by the users in the INTRO system will be frozen for 1 year.
Below you can see a road map, which will be explained in details in the following chapters.

INTRO is a BI (Business Intelligence) system for the participants of off-plan development – builders, investors,
homebuyers, banks and other agents.
INTRO IT products provide access to advanced market analytics for industry professionals as well as for private
homebuyers. The register of under construction objects and investors’ contracts are stored in the blockchain,
which in turn receives data from official state sources. This allows for effective market analysis without violating
the proprietors' rights to personal data protection.
INTRO system users will be able to find the most attractive off-plan properties in dozens of countries and invest
in the ongoing construction under smart contracts. The blockchain ensures reliability of the information about the
building plan and transaction security, while avoiding costs of intermediation by real estate brokers, lawyers or
profiteers. Smart contracts enable the users to save up to 30% on property investment.
What problems does the INTRO system solve?
No unified register of under construction properties
Our system includes a dynamic database of the off-plan properties.
Data on off-plan property deals in state registers is not structured
The automated linguistic analysis is employed for data tokenization. Then the property ownership records
are matched with building plans with the use of AI technology. This way, the system detects and corrects
errors caused by the human factor or changes in building designs.
No register of apartments, parking lots and commercial properties under construction
The system analyses floor plans of under construction buildings. Each off-plan property can be found on
the plan and marked as “sold” when its developer cedes property rights to the investor. This allows for
instant monitoring of sold and stock properties.
No control mechanisms for stages of off-plan construction
A special module in INTRO checks the relation between investment volume and construction phase.
Off-plan investors lack access to the investment records that influence their interests
INTRO users can access the anonymized state records on off-plan development agreements. It helps
investors and homebuyers to find a reliable developer and profitable property.
Developers often suffer cash flow gaps during the construction cycle
The module for private property auctions allows developers to quickly sale off properties and close cash
flow gaps without damaging the general sales plan.

How it works
— Data on the off-plan objects and share participation is loaded from the state accounting systems into the
distributed register. In Russia, data is loaded from Rosreestr (Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastral
Records and Cartography) and the departments of the Ministry of Construction and Architecture.
— Transactions data is anonymized and stored in the block chain with regular uploading of new
deals from departmental sources. Today, the data in the INTRO system is updated every month.
— Based on the received data, INTRO generates market metrics. The main indicators are sales dynamics,
market shares of the companies, stocks of off-plan property, competition by any location and layout type.
— In Russia, the information from INTRO is received by representatives of dedicated agencies, developers and
investors. It allows avoiding excessive construction development in a separate location or construction of illiquid
objects (for example, apartments of unattractive layout).
— Aggregated data comes to other IT products of the system that are intended for private investors, real estate
brokers and home buyers. INTRO users do not need to scrutinize official documents or pay for this to an
intermediary. The products of the system are designed to ensure that any investor can conclude a lucrative
contract with a reliable developer.

The blockchain integration ensures that INTRO as a data miner cannot change or hide information from state
registers. State officers and market players can be sure that the data in the system is reliable and unchanged.
INTRO Analytica is an irreplaceable B2B-service for real estate professionals – developers, real estate agents
and builders. Private investors and homebuyers can use B2C-services of the INTRO ecosystem.

INTRO system components
INTRO Analytica
INTRO Analytica is a BI system for the players of off-plan development market.
Today, the INTRO Analytica system is used by developers, investors, banks and the Russian authorities, as
well as by the leading architects and mass media.
The concept of BI-platform for analysis of off-plan development in Russia appeared in 2016. The pilot version for
state authorities was launched in summer of 2017, and already in October 2017 the sales of B2B version began.
INTRO Analytica is in demand among developers: over 20 large Russian construction holdings are currently
using the system. Interest in the product is growing and the service coverage is quickly expands in the Russian
regions and neighboring countries.

INTRO system components
INTRO Sale
INTRO Sale is a private online auction for developers property buyers.
Developers often suffer cash flow gaps during the construction cycle and urgently need cash inflow. In such
cases, developers often offer properties at net cost to their partners who further resell them at a market price.
INTRO Token holders will be able to join the Intro Sale affiliate network and participate in private auctions. The
bidding will be carried out during a limited time with all the bids written in blockchain. This ensures that the best price
wins and token holders make a property investment at attractive terms.
Beta testing of the system among the users of INTRO Analytica proved that developers are interested in closed
bidding, as they help not to break the overall sales plan for the object due to occasional discounts. The share of
discounted properties in the construction project usually does not exceed 5%, therefore, public announcements of
auction sales are undesirable.
The development of INTRO Sale began in July 2017, the release takes place in January 2018

INTRO COINvest
INTRO COINvest is a social application for homebuyers.
Home owners in new buildings have many common goals — starting from quality control of construction to the
selection of the housing maintenance company. These tasks are much easier to solve in cooperation with
future neighbors and experts whom one can meet via our social app INTRO COINvest.
Through a convenient application, the buyers will be able to chat with each other, developers’ representatives
and, if necessary, lawyers and technical experts. Moving in a new residential block or a village, the neighbors
will be able to save on buying household goods through the club of joint purchases.
The application will help homebuyers to find an expert for property review and make sure that the building
meets all technical standards. The offers of interior designers and property lawyers will be available as well.
The COINvest users will be able to rate their developers and service providers. The ratings will be stored in
unchangeable blockchain in order to keep a truthful record on the company operations.
The application users will be rewarded with INTRO Tokens for any useful activities in the system (friends '
invitation, activity in chats, writing reviews, etc.). The more tokens one collects on his/her personal account,
the higher will be the discount in the partner retailers of furniture, household utensils and DIY-materials.
The app development is underway from September 2017, the launch is planned for July 2018.

INTRO system components
INTRO REstate
INTRO REstate is an online store of off-plan properties at developers' prices.
INTRO REstate provides search throughout on-sale properties in under-construction buildings in all the regions
covered by the INTRO system. Smart contracts allow investors to make a deal with the property developer at a
minimum transaction fee and without any intermediaries.
If you are looking for a property for living, you can post a request at INTRO REstate and receive only those
offers that meet your requirements. Then you can choose the best option and close a deal in a regular way
with a paper-based contract or through your personal account in the system with a smart contract. In addition, a
homebuyer will be able to apply for a mortgage in several banks through his/her INTRO REstate account.
The concept of INTRO REstate workflow is the following.
Property buyer deposits money for a chosen property, which get frozen on the INTRO REstate account.
Developer recieves a request to register the investor's property rights and submits documents to the state
registration authority. When developer confirms that the off-plan or ready-made property is registered, INTRO
REstate makes an authomated request to the state authority and writes the response in blockchain. In case of
positive response, INTRO REstate send the withholded money to developer.
Foreign investors can purchase properties via INTRO REstate if the chosen property is located in the
jurisdiction that allows real estate ownership / off-plan investment by foreign nationals. Hence, the investor will
have to disclose his nationality to search relevant properties. All operations can be conducted online without
personal presence in the property jurisdiction.
A standart sale contract and off-plan investment contract will be installed in the system for those willing to
invest in the Russian real estate. Relevant contracts compliant with a local legal system will be introduced for
other countries as well. As blockchain development will progress, the purchase procedure will get simplier and
quicker.
If you are a real estate investor, then the service can help you to analyze the market and choose the offers that
are the most liquid and attractive for investment, and then invest in one or few of the proposed properties in the
INTRO REstate system.
For developers, INTRO REstate is an additional sales channel attracting international investors and homebuyers.
The availability of the smart contract allow investors and developers to use more beneficial schemes of payment
during the construction phase.
Development of INTRO REstate is scheduled for 2018.

Advantages for Token holders
Homebuyers will be able to purchase under-construction properties directly from the developers. The system
evaluates the project reliability: the legal permits, construction plans and registration of off-plan property investors'
rights. These details are entered into INTRO system from the state sources and kept in the blockchain, which
excludes any fraud schemes.
Using INTRO services, the buyers can save up to 10% on intermediaries’ fees. The direct access to official data
is critical when buying real estate abroad as foreign property investors often face difficulties.

private auction on blockchain starting from the net cost. It provides the Token holders with the most beneficial
investment opportunities while developers use the private auction as an excellent fund-raising option.

receive the international market data and investment offers. The system will expand with respect to the requests
of users, so you will be able to find all the hidden gems of the global property market!

A broad geography of analytics and investments
Fees
Activity bonus
INTRO subscribers are able to influence the developer's ratings. Active users will be rewarded for any activities in
