CrashLock — Certified Accident Evidence Pack

  1. OPPORTUNITY NAME AND PROMISE CrashLock — a rapid, remote-first service that turns raw dashcam/phone crash footage into a tamper‑evident, insurer- and court-ready Evidence Pack (timestamped hash, verified PDF report, enhancement options, preservation letter + insurer/police submission templates) — delivered within 48 hours.

  2. EXACT BUYER AND URGENT PROBLEM Buyer: drivers or families after a collision (hit‑and‑run, disputed-fault crash, uninsured driver, or injury claim) who fear losing or mishandling crucial video evidence. Urgency: insurers/police often overwrite or de-prioritize footage; disputing fault without verified video is stressful, expensive, and time‑sensitive.

  3. CUSTOMER TRANSFORMATION From: “I have shaky/locked-down video and I don’t know how to prove it’s authentic.” To: “I have a tamper‑evident, third‑party‑timestamped, professionally documented Evidence Pack I can hand to my insurer, police, or lawyer — plus a preservation letter and submission steps.”

  4. DELIVERABLES AND REMOTE FEASIBILITY

  • Secure uploader + clear extraction instructions (phone, dashcam, cloud).
  • Forensic-grade metadata extraction & SHA‑256 hashing.
  • Third‑party timestamp anchoring (e.g., DigiCert / RFC3161 or equivalent) and PDF Verification Report with QR/verification link.
  • Optional AI-enhanced viewing copy (stabilize/brighten/deblur) while preserving original.
  • Preservation/spoliation letter template and insurer/police submission pack.
    Remote feasible: client uploads file or ships microSD; most work automated (scripts to extract metadata, compute hash, generate report); hands‑on pickup offered as premium.
  1. PRICING AND UNIT ECONOMICS (CAD)
  • Core Pack: $1,500 — hash + DigiCert timestamp + PDF pack + guidance (2–4 hr fulfillment).
  • Premium Pack: $2,500 — includes enhancement, expedited 24‑hour turnaround, phone liaison with insurer/police, and optional physical evidence pickup.
    Variable expenses per case (assumptions): timestamp fee $10–25, enhancement credits $10–50, cloud & storage $5, payment fees ~3% + $0.30 → typical variable cost ≈ $40–120.
    Net contribution per sale (example): $1,800 price − $80 vars ≈ $1,720. Fulfillment time ≈ 3–4 hours. Contribution per 8‑hour equivalent day (one case/day) ≈ $1,720; two cases/day ≈ $3,440.
