How scoring works

Fun = F + T: how enjoyable and technically interesting the build is.

Money = M + Feas − C: raw potential plus solo feasibility, less competition.

A best bet has Fun of at least 14 or Money of at least 5, and a customer other than an individual developer.

Construction daily report automation.
Construction daily report automation. Foremen take phone photos + voice notes; AI generates compliance-ready daily logs (weather, headcount, work completed, safety incidents) as branded PDFs. Comp: Procore, Buildertrend are heavy ERPs; lightweight AI-first reporting is open. Wedge: target the 1–10-employee general contractor who can't justify Procore's $7K/yr. $100/site/mo × 50 sites = $5K MRR. Tech: vision-LM on photos + voice-to-text + template engine.
