A trades business owner is stuck in a bottleneck where they personally handle the most difficult technical work on every job, limiting the number of jobs they can do and preventing them from scaling the business.

There is no software that effectively enables an expert tradesperson to remotely mentor multiple field technicians through difficult parts of a job, allowing the expert to handle only the critical few minutes per job instead of doing entire jobs themselves.

Implied Software Gaps

A remote mentoring platform with live video and AR annotation could replace the need for a senior expert to personally attend each job site.

App Concept

ExpertConnect Field Mentor

A mobile platform that connects less experienced field technicians with an expert mentor via live video/AR, enabling the mentor to handle only the 5-10 most difficult minutes of each job remotely. The expert can simultaneously mentor 10-15 technicians, dramatically increasing billable hours and job completion rates.

Key Features

Live video feed with AR annotation for remote guidance
Queue management allowing one expert to handle multiple technicians
Session recording and knowledge base for future reference
Billing integration to track expert time per job

Target Users: Trade business owners and senior technicians in home services (plumbing, HVAC, electrical) who are bottlenecks to scaling their operation

Revenue Model: $49/mo per active mentor account plus $1 per session for mentee accounts
