Evidence boundary
Original analysis and independent corroboration remain under development. Commercial scale and durable technical advantage remain under review.
What makes it defensible
A 40–50 lb man-portable robot sold on subscription with NASSCO PACP/MACP-certified AI coding — full pipeline-inspection capability without buying a truck-mounted crawler system.
Position in the stack: Inspection robotics-as-a-service for water, wastewater and stormwater utilities and their engineering contractors; moat is the certified coding pipeline plus cloud asset records that accumulate per municipality and make switching costly.
