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

- [ ] [INVEST] [HIGH IMPACT] Audit Bluetooth/Wi-Fi handshake logic because connectivity instability is the top complaint → improve Android rating baseline. — *Android rating is 1.6 stars, indicating connectivity failure is the primary churn driver.* _(trade-off: deprioritize Pause the IFOV calculator update — connectivity stability has 5x the impact on user retention.)_
<!-- /section:pm-actions -->

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

- Predictive maintenance data (available in Equipment Mobile)
- Advanced measurement analytics (available in FLIR Tools)
- Multi-property management (available in KastlePresence)
<!-- /section:feature-gaps -->

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

The industrial diagnostic market is shifting toward predictive analytics and deep ERP integration, leaving hardware-only utilities like Testo exposed. Without a roadmap to add diagnostic depth, the app will continue to lose relevance as professional users migrate to platforms that offer actionable maintenance insights.

- 🔴 Persistent connectivity complaints on Android indicate a failure in the core hardware-tethered utility, which accelerates user churn to more stable diagnostic alternatives.
- 🔴 The lack of predictive maintenance features leaves the app exposed to competitors like John Deere, who are shifting professional expectations toward data-driven diagnostics.
