ggaurdai Platform Funding Overview
ggaurdai is building a garage door intelligence platform. SpringSight is the first module focused on spring identification, risk forecasting, and consumer safety decision support.
Current Stage
Live Phase 1 MVP
Operational SpringSight wedge product
Core Product
SpringSight
Consumer spring risk intelligence
Current State
- - Live public site at ggaurdai.com with SpringSight as the first deployed module.
- - Homeowner SpringSight workflow and technician quick-scan workflow are implemented.
- - Structured report storage, admin review, and dataset capture pipelines are in place.
- - Revenue and paid-conversion validation are still early, and broader platform modules remain in active development.
Technology Readiness
- - SpringSight should be described as a live MVP suitable for pilot use and early validation.
- - DoorFax, DoorDNA, CycleSense, and RepairLoop should be described as platform expansion work in progress.
- - AI outputs are bounded by deterministic logic, confidence gating, and informational-use disclaimers.
- - The current position is stronger as an applied R&D platform than as a completed predictive maintenance system.
12-Month Milestones
Q1
SpringSight Core Reliability

- - DoorFax inspection report generation under 60 seconds
Q2
Validation Pilot
- - 100 paid SpringSight inspections completed
- - Manual QA review on at least 60% of reports
- - Confidence calibration dashboard live for model drift checks
Q3
Data and Safety Expansion
- - DoorFax records with full metadata >= 1,000
- - False-positive reduction target: 25% vs baseline
- - Standardized technician feedback workflow deployed
Q4
Commercial Readiness
- - Launch partner program with at least 5 contractor accounts
- - Customer retention target (90-day) >= 30%
- - Grant closeout report with KPI and model-evidence appendix

Monthly KPI Review
Baseline is currently zero while launch prep completes. Grant reporting cadence: monthly operational metrics with quarterly technical review packets.
| KPI | Baseline | 90-Day | 12-Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paid SpringSight Reports (monthly) | 0 | 25 | 100 |
| DoorFax Records (validated cumulative) | 0 | 250 | 1,000 |
| Visitor -> Paid Conversion | 0% | 1.5% | 3.0% |
| QA-reviewed Report Accuracy | 0% | 80% | 90% |
Commercialization Plan
- - Primary wedge: SpringSight consumer workflow ($19).
- - Secondary monetization: quote context module and contractor subscriptions.
- - Platform strategy: ggaurdai as infrastructure, SpringSight as first module, DoorFax as data moat.
- - Go-to-market: homeowner acquisition + contractor co-brand pilots + property manager channel.
Risk and Compliance Controls
- - Deterministic calculation layer for cycle-life and torque estimates.
- - AI outputs constrained by confidence thresholds and evidence checks.
- - Manual QA workflow on sampled reports with correction feedback loop.
- - Legal and safety disclaimers to prevent misuse as installation instructions.
SBIR Technical Readiness
- - Instant Spring Spec beta flow with structured measurement outputs and confidence scoring.
- - Correction-capture loop that stores AI-vs-human deltas for retraining datasets.
- - DoorFax persistence of scan-level mechanical signals and recommendation outputs.
- - Usage instrumentation for pilot conversion, retention, and model-performance tracking.
Data Governance Controls
- - Data minimization: no unnecessary PII in model-training payloads.
- - Schema-versioned JSON logs for reproducible experiments and auditability.
- - Service-role-only write path with RLS-restricted Supabase tables.
- - Explicit informational-use disclaimers and non-installation guidance boundaries.
