Pre-launch health checks and handover docs for internal tools at factories

Problem

Indie developers build internal tools that replace Excel for safety-equipment tracking and maintenance logs, but clients may self-build with Copilot-like tools and nobody worries about long-term maintenance. Developers need a way to prove build is easy but upkeep is hard, and to make handover auditable.

Solution

A handover toolkit that turns a small internal tool's fields, data sources, permissions, backups and migration plan into a client-friendly launch checklist and maintenance handbook. Periodic health checks (backups, permission drift, key field changes) become the differentiator.

Users

Indie developers and small studios doing industrial/on-site internal tool contracting

MVP

Form to enter tool metadata (data sources, fields, roles, backup policy); exportable launch checklist and maintenance handbook PDF; periodic health check reminders; handover email templates

Revenue

Per-project or monthly subscription charged to developers; optionally bundle as a value-added handover guarantee sold to their clients

Why now

Low-code and Copilot make clients think self-building is trivial, and contractors urgently need a professional, visible delivery process; the tool doesn't touch client data systems, so adoption is easy
