Offer a computer vision API that identifies equipment damage from smartphone photos for field technicians.

Why now

Insurance and maintenance workflows still rely on manual damage assessments with high error rates.

Who for
facility maintenance teams
Business model
pay-per-use API
Effort
A few weeks

Field inspectors miss subtle asset damage during visual checks, leading to costly late-stage discoveries.

Provide a simple API that accepts mobile photos and returns damage probability scores with bounding boxes. Focus on industrial equipment patterns.

Facility managers and insurance adjusters pay per scan to reduce inspection oversights.

MVP: Fine-tune an open-source CV model on public corrosion/damage datasets.

Risk: Edge cases in field conditions may require expensive training data.
