Brief
Zane Hengsperger proposes "Machine Maintenance as a Service," citing a $222B/year U.S. market and positioning it as a high-leverage bet as robotics scale. The service would offer quarterly preventive maintenance, shared machine-specific service histories, sensor/camera-based predictive analytics, instant spare-part purchasing, operator training, and a machine-aware AI chatbot; hires would prioritize veteran technicians and document every repair with correlated data.
