Customer Recall Match System
Discovery Lens
C Combination Innovation
Two separate worlds finally connect — and the intersection is a product
One-Liner
RV dealers have no systematic way to match their past customer database against new manufacturer recalls for the RV body (slideout systems, appliances, LP systems) — missing a recall creates safety liability and regulatory exposure.
Kill Reason
Major DMS platforms (CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerSocket) already include recall notification and customer matching modules, and NHTSA's public API makes the underlying recall data freely accessible to any developer. An independent product competing against embedded DMS features with existing dealer relationships has no distribution advantage and no technical differentiation that incumbents cannot replicate in a sprint.

killed: Independent TCO modeling for fleet acquisition sounds valuable but is freely available from any spreadsheet consultant, fleet leasing broker, or general-purpose AI chatbot — the 'unbiased advisor' positioning erodes the moment buyers realize they can get equivalent analysis for free.
killed: Insurance supplement documentation for auto detailers is an education problem, not a software product — once a detailer learns the format, they use a prompt template for free. There is no recurring trigger for repeat use and no proprietary data that accumulates to create switching costs or justify ongoing subscription revenue.
killed: State-specific mechanic's lien procedures are public record, making the documentation easily copied by any competitor with a legal template database. The market is extremely narrow — most shops encounter an abandoned vehicle once or twice a year — and the lack of any proprietary data asset means this is a one-time document feature, not a defensible business.
