Small-scale land measurement needs often don't justify expensive professional surveying equipment.

Create an app that uses phone cameras and AR to measure distances, elevations, and areas with acceptable accuracy for non-critical tasks.

Sell through one-time app purchases and in-app measurement tools.

Start with basic line and area measurements using AR markers.

Risk is that professionals won't trust smartphone accuracy while amateurs may not have consistent needs.
