Business model breakdown
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
UnverifiedStorm damage assessment and need for frequent, cheaper inspection than manned helicopter or crew patrols.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Faraday-1 drone (85 mi range, 135 min flight) based at Lighthouse-1 substation docks flies continuous asset-inspection and LiDAR missions plus reactive post-storm patrols, returning visual, thermal and LiDAR data.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Drone infrastructure sold as a service to utilities; claims LiDAR mapping 'at a fraction of today's cost'; no numbers.
