App-based lockout/tagout log and audit trail
Routine lockout procedure checklist with timestamps
Multi-user mode for team lockouts

Target Users: Technicians and safety managers in field service industries (e.g., electrical, HVAC, industrial maintenance) at companies of any size that require LOTO compliance.

Revenue Model: $49/device (hardware) + $9/mo per user for app subscription
