💩 Why it's ugly

You are measuring floating fat layers in tanks people actively avoid opening. The product demo involves a manhole hook and a straight face.

💰 Why it prints money

Restaurants overpay for unnecessary pump-outs or under-pump and risk backups. Monitoring creates recurring revenue by helping customers schedule service before the expensive disaster.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
