Original Request Description

I’m kicking around a small B2B SaaS for independent fire-safety inspection shops that do extinguisher, alarm, and emergency-light checks for strip malls, schools, and warehouses. The basic pitch is a mobile app for field techs to log inspections, attach photos, generate a branded report, and keep renewal dates straight without living in spreadsheets. Before I spend more time on it, I want a blunt market-size sanity check: is this a real enough niche to support a focused product, or am I chasing something too tiny?

Please estimate the likely customer base in the U.S. using a bottom-up approach, then give me a rough TAM/SAM/SOM with assumptions that are easy to follow. I’d also like a quick competitor scan of 5-8 relevant products or adjacent alternatives, including what they seem to charge or how they position themselves if pricing is public. If exact pricing isn’t public, say so and infer carefully from available clues. End with a plain-English verdict on whether this is a “good niche but narrow,” “too fragmented,” or “big enough to test,” plus the main risks and the one or two most promising customer segments to target first. Please keep it grounded and don’t hand-wave the numbers.
