A vision model that handles field reporting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.

Construction teams lose reports typed up in a truck cab after a ten-hour day. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Field reporting handled by a vision model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Multimodal models now read a photo of a worksite without custom training. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
