💩 Why it's ugly

You walk aisles staring at bent steel, missing anchors, twisted beams, and forklift scars. The job is basically reading warehouse bruises for money.

💰 Why it prints money

Damaged racking is a safety, insurance, and operations problem. Inspections create paid reports, repair quotes, replacement parts, and recurring annual reviews with customers who cannot afford a collapse.

🗺️ 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.
