# Destructivefield

*/Startups/Destructivefield*

## Startup Overview

This platform ingests and structures raw destructive material testing data directly from the job site and the testing facility. It eliminates the manual transcription and fragmented documentation that disrupt construction quality assurance when tracking concrete break tests or steel tensile strength. Materials engineers and site inspectors use the software to unify physical stress metrics into a single, verifiable digital record.

Unlike paper field logs that are easily altered or traditional Laboratory Information Management Systems confined to off-site facilities, the software bridges the data gap between the construction site and the testing rig. It replaces rigid enterprise licenses found in tools like Procore QA with a model that is usage-priced strictly per certified test. Every data point is cryptographically auditable from field collection to final lab certification, ensuring an unbroken chain of custody for structural material baselines.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to reduce field-to-lab data transcription time by 80% for mid-sized civil engineering firms
- Targeting zero manual entry errors between field technician logs and final laboratory reports
- Intended to provide instant cryptographic verification of testing origin for municipal inspectors
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Volume · Price: ~$10–$15 per certified test · Inclusions: Ingestion of raw field destructive testing data, automated structuring, and generation of a cryptographically signed field-to-lab audit trail. Best for regional construction QA teams.
- Name: High-Volume Lab · Price: ~$4–$8 per certified test · Inclusions: Everything in Standard Volume plus intended automated sync capabilities for legacy LIMS software and Procore, with priority data extraction support. Requires a minimum commitment of 500 tests per month.
**Guarantee**: If a generated cryptographic chain of custody fails to pass a standard engineering compliance audit due to data structuring errors, the cost of the entire test batch is refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Field technicians often lack reliable internet access: Designed with an offline-first mobile capture architecture that securely caches raw data and signs it upon reconnection.
- We already pay for Procore QA: Destructivefield is not a replacement; it is designed to structure the raw material data and push verified, auditable results directly into your existing Procore environment.
- Why add cryptographic auditing to material tests?: To eliminate liability disputes by proving mathematically exactly when, where, and by which technician the destructive test data was originally logged.
- Our legacy LIMS cannot handle modern API webhooks: The system is designed to generate standard CSV or XML batches that can be ingested by older, on-premise laboratory information management systems.
