Canvas Idea

From idea to first market traction in 3 months

Canvas Challenge

The primary challenge was to find a way to turn this bold but massive idea into a viable business from scratch, with limited initial resources and only three months to prove the concept.

Stroke Solution

Instead of creating a standard HMI panel, we built a 'Digital Organism'—a living digital twin of the equipment. The key decision—the 'one precise stroke'—was the conscious choice to cut away everything that was not the core value. We eliminated the drones and the logistics to focus on the single most important thing: creating the 'brain' of the service. We directed 100% of our resources toward developing a scalable AI platform that could take any set of photos (from a drone, phone, or camera) and transform them into a perfect report.
