Original Request Description

I’m kicking around a small B2B SaaS idea for independent backflow testing and sprinkler inspection contractors, mostly the 5-25 employee shops that spend a lot of time on recurring compliance work, annual renewals, route scheduling, and filing test results with property managers or municipalities. I do not need a polished pitch deck. I need a plain market-size sanity check that tells me whether this is a real business or just a tiny niche that looks bigger than it is.

Please estimate the U.S. market using a bottom-up approach, not a giant top-down claim. I want a rough TAM/SAM/SOM, with the assumptions shown clearly: how many target firms exist, what share would realistically buy software like this, and what a believable annual price per shop might be. Also include a short competitor scan of the main tools serving this workflow, what they seem to do well, and where a new entrant might still have room. If there are signs the category is fragmented, saturated, or too small to matter, say that directly. A good answer should end with a blunt verdict on whether this idea looks worth pursuing, and what specific evidence would change that verdict.
