One-Liner
A platform aggregating anonymized HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service records across commercial buildings to reveal building-level system health trajectories for commercial real estate investors.
AI Thinking Process
Verb Transplant: 'due diligence' from finance/M&A → building trades. Transplant 'continuous due diligence' from financial compliance monitoring → building system health monitoring via aggregated trade service records.
Data producer incentive check: Why would an HVAC contractor share service records? Unlike pest control (sharing proves building health), sharing HVAC failure data might reveal maintenance isn't preventing failures — making the contractor look bad. No clear upside from sharing.
Tried: contractors share data on buildings they maintain well ('A+ health score by [contractor]'). But selection bias destroys investment intelligence value — investors need complete data, not cherry-picked success stories.
Fundamental data producer incentive misalignment. Contractors have no rational reason to share service records with investors. Selection bias makes the data unreliable even if some contractors participate.
Kill Reason
Data producer incentive misalignment: HVAC contractors have no clear benefit from sharing service records with investors. Sharing building failure data might make the contractor look bad (maintenance isn't preventing failures). Selection bias destroys reliability even if some contractors participate — they would only share data on buildings they maintain well, creating marketing fluff, not investment intelligence.
