Get usable job photos before the customer hits submit.

PhotoGate is a lightweight pre-intake layer for home-service businesses. It checks required shots for basic image quality now, then a future semantic layer can verify that the customer actually photographed the right equipment, angle, label, or work area.

This prototype performs local image-quality checks only: resolution, brightness and blur risk. It does not diagnose equipment or certify code/safety conditions.

Why this exists

Customers often send one blurry close-up when the contractor needed a model plate, wide context, access path and problem area. The goal is to catch that before staff starts texting back and forth.

Validation, not another CRMDesigned as a small layer contractors can put in front of the workflow they already use.

Trade-specific requirementsEach workflow asks for different visual evidence instead of using one generic “upload photos” box.

Human stays in controlPhotoGate prepares better evidence. The contractor still decides whether to quote, visit, diagnose or request more information.

Local contractor founding pilot

I’m testing whether contractors would pay for a branded intake link that rejects unusable photos before they reach the office. A pilot would be configured around one specific service and your exact required shots. The semantic AI-validation layer is the next build only if contractors confirm the pain is worth solving.
