Opportunity BasketRawRepair Field Service Network
A geographically distributed network of certified photographers and technicians who offer same-day or next-day on-site raw file recovery and repair using specialized diagnostic hardware and proprietary repair algorithms. Customers book via mobile app, technician arrives with portable recovery rig (laptop + external drives + diagnostic tools), diagnoses corruption on-site, repairs files locally, and returns clean files on external drive or cloud link within 24 hours.
39 weeks • 70% confidence
Value Proposition

Professional photographers lose irreplaceable shots when raw files become corrupted during transfer or storagePhotographers investing in expensive camera equipment (Panasonic, Nikon) face catastrophic data loss when raw files (RW2, NEF formats) become corrupted, rendering thousands of dollars worth of shoots unusable. Current recovery solutions are either non-existent, prohibitively expensive (professional data recovery services), or require deep technical knowledge. The problem is especially painful because corrupted files often show partial data (visible but distorted imagery) suggesting the data is recoverable, but photographers lack accessible tools to repair them.
