Target Market

Solo owner-operators in the 'man-with-a-van' category (handymen, mobile detailers, lawn care). They currently use paper or basic notes and lose 20% of revenue to unbilled work and forgotten follow-ups.

90-Day Execution Plan

Week 1-2: Build landing page with 'Quick Quote' demo video; run $200 in targeted FB ads to local contractor groups to validate CPL. Week 3-6: Build MVP using FlutterFlow/Firebase focusing only on 3 features: SMS-based scheduling, PDF quoting, and Stripe-linked invoicing. Week 7-9: Onboard 10 'Alpha' users from local Yelp/Google Maps listings for free in exchange for video testimonials. Week 10-12: Launch paid tier; automate outbound LinkedIn/Email outreach to newly registered LLCs in the construction/service sector.
