I'll second this.

Include refrigerator vents and the like too.

I'm a chemical engineer, and my "Mission statement" is to Bring Technical Team Economies of Scale to Small Chemical Companies.

I'm envisioning a subscription style service to handle metrics and non-capital projects.

Currently consulting companies go in and give them a list of things to do, and no one follows through, but the companies aren't able to afford a me (process optimization and safety), a reliability engineer, a controls engineer, etc. full time.

Their person on site is usually spread thin, and focused on basic operations.

Some order of magnitude estimating gives around 150Billion of non-capital optimization EBIDTA potential across the 15000 highly hazardous manufacturing sites.

The current companies go straight for capital projects.

Anyway...this has been rolling around in my head for years.

Absolutely.

I'll add that books can also be mentally banked for the future.

For me it's been 40+ years of books that created a tapestry. I've been going through hell, but the foundation was there.

I'm in the middle of a startup.

For me it's bridging the credibility gap.

I've provided insane value for clients in engineering, but my clients are confidential.

And so many of my potential clients just don't realize that they have a performance gap.

I also need help branding. I have ideas, but I'm an engineer, not a marketer, trying to do my own marketing.
