ULTRASONIC TESTING SERVICE BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

PulseSight NDT (name denotes precise ultrasonic pulse inspection and clear actionable sightlines) is a Houston, Texas–based provider of advanced nondestructive testing launching in 2026. We operate in the industrial inspection sector, specializing in ultrasonic wave-based inspections for aerospace, energy, and heavy manufacturing. Our core services are phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) delivered from a fleet of mobile service vehicles for on-site work. All lead technicians are ASNT-certified and focused on delivering data owners can act on to reduce downtime and safety risk. One-line: precise mobile ultrasonic inspections that turn signals into repair decisions.

We earn revenue through on-site inspection contracts, recurring asset integrity programs, and paid condition-assessment reports. Key activities include deployment of mobile crews, data capture with PAUT/TOFD systems, analysis by ASNT-certified staff, and delivery of digital reports and repair recommendations within 48 hours. We target U.S. owners and operators of high-value assets—airframe integrators, refinery operators, pipeline owners, and heavy-equipment manufacturers. Short-term goals: sign three anchor contracts and reach $900k ARR by end of year one. Long-term goals: national coverage, 50 mobile units, and $15M revenue with 28% gross margin in five years. One-line: scale mobile PAUT/TOFD capacity to be the go-to inspector for critical assets.

Problem

Internal defects such as cracks and voids are invisible to the naked eye in critical aerospace, energy, and manufacturing components, causing catastrophic failures, safety hazards, and large financial losses from unexpected downtime and regulatory exposure.

Existing inspection options often require destructive testing or deliver insufficient data for complex geometries, leaving operators without reliable defect detection, clear characterization, or traceable documentation needed for compliance and life-extension decisions.

Based in Houston and launching in 2026, we provide mobile, on-site ultrasonic inspections using phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) with ASNT-certified technicians to fill this gap and deliver high-precision nondestructive testing that preserves service life, reduces unplanned repairs, and improves regulatory reporting.

Solution

Critical industrial components hide internal cracks, voids, and corrosion that standard inspections miss, creating safety risks and costly unplanned shutdowns. Our service uses phased array ultrasonic testing and time-of-flight diffraction to map internal defects quickly and accurately, producing rapid digital reports that let engineers prioritize repairs without unnecessary downtime.

Unique value: noninvasive, high-precision condition data that preserves asset uptime and makes predictive maintenance effective. One line: we map internal defects fast and accurately to inform maintenance decisions.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to safeguard industrial integrity and public safety by providing the most precise and reliable nondestructive ultrasonic testing services in the United States. We commit to technical excellence through advanced ultrasonic technology and certified inspectors to uncover hidden flaws and deliver actionable insights that prevent failure and optimize asset performance. We act with innovation, transparency, and responsibility to earn trust from high‑stakes industries while minimizing safety and environmental risks.

Key Success Factors

Our success rests on technical expertise, equipment advantage, industry relationships, financial timing, and operational scalability.

• ASNT-certified technicians provide the high-level expertise required for complex ultrasonic inspections.
• $287,000 of advanced capital equipment gives superior technology versus local competitors.
• Established relationships with industry bodies and engineering firms drive referrals and credibility.
• Breakeven in June 2027 is the critical financial milestone for sustainability.
• Scaling billable hours from 28.0 to 35.0 per month per customer enables the 2030 revenue target of $3,985,000.
