Access manufacturer-specific maintenance guidelines and common failure patterns
Step-by-step diagnostic checklist with photo capture for documentation
Integration with parts supplier inventory to check availability and pricing

Target Users: HVAC and plumbing service technicians at small to mid-size home service companies who need quick, reliable repair vs. replace decisions on common components like pressure relief valves.

Revenue Model: $9.99/month per technician subscription with a free tier limited to 5 recommendations per month
