Homeowners and electricians need a way to visually verify and certify code-compliant electrical installations to catch violations like improper connector use, missing anti-short bushings, and messy work before inspection.

Existing code inspection occurs after the fact and can cause costly rework; there is no pre-inspection tool that allows an electrician to self-check or get peer feedback on specific code-compliance details before the official inspection.

Peer review community where electricians can submit photos for quick feedback
Inspection checklist generator based on photo analysis and job type
Documentation hub to store pass/fail history and share with clients or inspectors

Target Users: Residential and commercial electricians (solo operators to small/medium electrical contractors) who want to reduce inspection failures and improve work quality.

Revenue Model: Freemium app with free basic photo checks and peer review, plus $14.99/month Pro tier for unlimited AI analysis and priority support.
