REVERSE ENGINEERING SERVICE BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

One-line: A U.S.-based engineering laboratory launching in 2026 that converts physical parts into manufacturing-ready digital blueprints. The company operates under a descriptive trade name that emphasizes precision reverse engineering; legal name and branding are pending. We serve the aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors with high-precision reverse engineering, coordinate measuring machine (CMM) metrology, 3D scanning, and material analysis to produce certified technical data packages for legacy part reproduction, competitor benchmarking, and legal evidence.

One-line: We run a secure, climate-controlled facility and a team of expert engineers who deliver actionable engineering data. Key activities include secure intake and handling, multi-method measurement, CAD reconstruction, material characterization, and delivery of manufacturing-ready drawings and data packages. Short-term goals: commence operations in 2026 and complete initial customer projects with documented quality controls. Long-term goals: earn industry certifications, expand capacity regionally, and be a go-to technical data provider for critical infrastructure manufacturers.

Problem

Manufacturers routinely suffer unplanned downtime when legacy components fail and no digital blueprints or technical specifications exist for reproduction. Unavailable replacement parts increase downtime, force costly trial-and-error prototyping, and delay product launches.

Engineering and industrial teams lack access to high-precision metrology and material data needed to capture complex geometries and ensure fit, form, and function. Legal and IP teams lack forensically defensible technical reconstructions required for litigation and enforcement.

Existing services are fragmented or low-resolution, leaving a gap for a secure, standards-grade provider. There is a clear need for a U.S.-based laboratory—launching in 2026—that delivers manufacturing-ready digital blueprints and material analysis for aerospace, automotive, and industrial operators.

Solution

Manufacturers lacking original digital blueprints face downtime, high custom-fabrication costs, and quality risk; our service converts physical components into production-ready CAD models with GD&T, plus material composition data and a complete technical data package (2D drawings, 3D files, and manufacturing recommendations). One line: we turn undocumented parts into ready-to-manufacture digital assets that reduce repair time, lower fabrication cost, and support IP and competitive analysis.

Mission Statement

We provide the U.S. manufacturing and engineering sectors with the most accurate, comprehensive, and actionable reverse engineering data to preserve legacy technology and accelerate innovation. We combine advanced metrology with deep material science and a consultative approach so clients can replicate, improve, and manufacture physical objects with precision. We turn physical challenges into digital opportunities, enabling manufacturers to compete with confidence while upholding technical rigor and responsibility.

Key Success Factors

Success depends on precision hardware, expert engineering, scalable CAD capacity, sector focus, and sales-driven growth.

• Leverage $345,000 precision hardware
• Employ Principal Engineer paid $185,000
• Scale CAD team from 2.0 to 5.0 FTEs by 2030
• Target aerospace MRO and litigation support sectors
• Drive revenue to $5,099,000 with 5% sales commission

Financial Summary

Key financials show ramping revenue from launch-year operations toward sustained profitability and capital recovery.

Financial requirements: maintain a minimum cash reserve of $28,000; breakeven achieved in May 2027 (17 months); expected payback in 42 months; five-year IRR 3.18% and ROE 3.96%.

Outlook: revenue growth to $5.099M by 2030 with EBITDA rising to $2.455M, supporting long-term stability.

Funding Requirements

We seek $950,000 in seed funding to cover capex, initial payroll, first-year marketing, and working capital to reach breakeven in May 2027.

The business is projected to generate $691,000 revenue in Year 1 and grow to $5,099,000 by 2030, with an initial Year 1 EBITDA loss of $532,000, breakeven in May 2027, Year 5 EBITDA of $2,455,000, a five-year IRR of 3.18%, ROE of 3.96%, and a payback period of 42 months.
