Before You Buy the Drone, Find Out If Anyone Actually Wants It
A storage tank that once needed ten days of scaffolding got cleaned in an afternoon by one operator flying a single drone — and that first job turned into a recurring contract worth millions. It’s the kind of story that makes a $75,000 equipment purchase feel less like a gamble and more like a formality. But stories like that are survivors’ tales. They tell you what happens when the market says yes. They tell you almost nothing about how to find out, cheaply, whether your market will say yes too — before you’ve signed a loan for a drone that can double as a down payment on a house.
