Construction teams waste time manually documenting underground work. An AI system could analyze trench videos to automatically generate as-built drawings and material logs. Municipalities or engineering firms would pay for the time savings. MVP could be a simple video-to-CAD converter. Main risk is competing with existing photogrammetry tools.
