## Executive Snapshot
**What it is:** Tersus MVP S1 Capture is a professional scanning utility for surveyors using Tersus GNSS hardware on iOS.
**Why users hire it:** Field technicians hire this app to verify 3D scan completeness in real-time, reducing the high cost of returning to a site for missed data.
<!-- /section:executive-snapshot -->

<!-- section:features -->
## App DNA (Features & Intent)
- **[Differentiator] Real-time true color point cloud preview:** Visualizes point cloud results in color during the scanning process to verify data completeness
  * *User Intent:* Users expect seamless access across multiple devices.
- **[Standard] RTK account configuration:** Enables direct input of Real-Time Kinematic parameters for high-precision positioning
- **[Standard] Full process management:** Coordinates device connection, firmware updates, and data playback within a single interface

<!-- /section:features -->

<!-- section:market-position -->
## Market Position {#market-position}

Tersus MVP S1 Capture operates as a specialized hardware utility on iOS, lacking the broad chart visibility of general-purpose productivity tools.
<!-- /section:market-position -->

## Monetization Strategy
- **Model:** Free
- **Tiers:** Free utility for hardware support
- **Analysis:** The app functions as a free utility to support hardware sales, with no direct in-app monetization observed.

<!-- section:swot -->
## SWOT Analysis {#swot}

**Core Strengths:**
- Real-time color point cloud visualization prevents data-capture errors
- Integrated firmware management reduces field-side hardware friction

**Critical Frictions:**
- Zero user reviews indicate low adoption velocity
- Hardware-locked utility model limits market reach
- No offline-first data engine

**Growth Levers:**
- Develop cross-platform export formats to increase utility
- Integrate dynamic form-building for compliance reporting

**Market Threats:**
- InspectAll's mature offline engine captures more field-service use cases
- General-purpose scanners threaten to commoditize spatial capture

<!-- /section:swot -->
## Recent Changes (v2 → v3) {#recent-changes}

The app has pivoted its competitive focus from 3D scanning to field-service compliance, prioritizing offline-first data capture to compete with InspectAll.

**Overall trend**: Stable
**Compared at**: 2026-05-14

### High-impact changes
- **[Shifted] Competitive Threat Re-alignment** (swot) — Threats shifted from Polycam and SW Maps to InspectAll and general-purpose scanning commoditization.
- **[Shifted] Roadmap Priority Pivot** (positioning) — PM action items shifted from cloud-processing offload to offline-first data capture to match InspectAll capabilities.

### Medium-impact changes
- **[Shifted] Competitive Landscape Overhaul** (positioning) — The competitive set was replaced with field-service and inventory management tools (InspectAll, Fastenal, Synappx) instead of 3D scanning apps.

<!-- section:momentum -->
## App Momentum (Maintenance) {#momentum}

<!-- section:so-what -->
## The "So What?" (Strategic Takeaway) {#so-what}

Tersus MVP S1 Capture is an established productivity app that is completely free.

<!-- speakable-start -->
> **Bottom Line:** Tersus MVP S1 Capture provides essential hardware support but lacks the offline resilience of competitors, so the PM should prioritize offline-first data capture to prevent field-service churn.
<!-- speakable-end -->

**Best for:** Professional surveyors and field technicians using Tersus GNSS hardware for high-precision scanning and mapping tasks.

<!-- section:pm-actions -->
### PM Action Plan (Next Best Moves)

- [ ] [INVEST] [HIGH IMPACT] Ship offline-first data capture because InspectAll's engine is the primary competitive differentiator → increase field reliability — *InspectAll's mature offline engine is a key competitive advantage that Tersus currently lacks.* _(trade-off: deprioritize Pause firmware-update UI refinements — offline reliability is a higher-value retention lever.)_
<!-- /section:pm-actions -->

<!-- section:feature-gaps -->
### Feature Gaps vs Competitors

- Dynamic form builder (available in InspectAll but missing here)
- Mature offline data capture engine (available in InspectAll but missing here)
<!-- /section:feature-gaps -->

<!-- section:outlook -->
### Outlook: Stable

The market for field-scanning utilities is consolidating around offline-capable, multi-purpose platforms. Tersus remains exposed to specialized competitors like InspectAll that offer broader compliance features, so long-term viability depends on expanding the app's utility beyond basic hardware support.

- ⚪ The app remains a hardware-tethered utility, which limits its growth potential to the existing Tersus GNSS user base.
