The slope gets mowed. Nobody stands on it.

Slope mowers already exist. We retrofit autonomy over the radio link they already run on, so the machine stops needing a skilled hand on the sticks. Priced per acre, whether you run one or twelve.

The constraint

Every machine needs its own operator.

The work is legally required, compressed into a narrow spring window, and every district needs it at once. You can’t hire your way out of demand that arrives all at once and disappears for ten months.

xyzteleop 1:1 → supervised 1:Nline of sight ≤ 150 mmachines 3 · operators 3 → 1

The constraint isn’t the iron, it’s that every machine consumes one trained person’s full attention for a full day. Remove that and it pays differently depending on who you are: run the window with people you can actually hire, work the machine dawn to dusk instead of one shift, or stop being one-operator-one- machine once you have a few.

Why it’s dangerous

The fatality band and the design band are the same band.

Nobody takes a ride-on up a 45° face. They take it up a 2:1 embankment because it looks manageable.

The hard part

On wet grade, wheel odometry lies.

The machine slides downhill while believing it’s tracking straight. We estimate slip as a first-class state and plan against tip-over margin, not path error.

The second product

The mowing pass is an inspection pass.

Mowing pays for the visit. The recurring survey record is the durable business, on an asset the owner is already required to inspect.

Where we are

Early, and looking for people who do this work.

No product, no revenue, no customers yet. We’re validating two things: the radio interface on commercial slope mowers, and what crews actually do when the window closes before the work is done.
