Equipment and capability matrix
Service claims are only as good as the capability behind them. Every item below states what it is for, its current status and what it cannot establish on its own.
21 capabilities

Capture
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJI Mavic 3 Cine | Aerial stills, obliques, roof/site imagery, cinematic footage and controlled photogrammetry imagery. | Electronic shutter and consumer GNSS; does not by itself create legal-survey or RTK-grade deliverables. | confirmed-owned | |
| Matterport Pro3 | Interior and selected exterior LiDAR/visual capture, digital twins and exportable spatial data. | Not automatically a sealed survey, construction drawing or licensed engineering product. | confirmed-owned | |
| Ground-level still camera or high-quality phone camera | Nameplates, detail imagery, facade/interior overlap and evidence photographs. | Must follow privacy and evidence-handling procedures. | recommended-not-confirmed |
capture-control
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJI RC | Aircraft control, telemetry, camera setup and flight execution. | Must be maintained, updated and used under applicable FAA operating rules. | confirmed-owned |
power
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Three Mavic 3 flight batteries | Supports segmented nadir, oblique and detail capture during one mobilization. | Battery health must be validated after long storage and logged per mission. | confirmed-owned |
Processing
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 4080 Super workstation | Photogrammetry, point-cloud processing, Gaussian-splat training, GIS, AI and report generation. | Large datasets may require additional RAM, storage and processing time. | confirmed-owned |
measurement
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Professional laser distance meter | Independent check dimensions and direct field measurements. | Does not establish legal boundaries or geodetic control. | recommended-not-confirmed |
control
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTK GNSS rover and survey pole | Ground-control points, checkpoints and controlled feature coordinates. | Ownership does not authorize legal surveying; licensed survey involvement may be required. | conditional-not-confirmed | |
| Ground-control and registration targets | Common control and registration between aerial, terrestrial and manual datasets. | Targets must be stable, distributed and measured by an appropriate method. | recommended-not-confirmed |
capture-accessory
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pro3 tripod, batteries and capture device | Stable Pro3 operation and capture control. | Tripod stability and scan-route discipline are required. | required-with-pro3 |
data-protection
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two portable SSDs | Two verified field copies before capture media is erased. | Portable copies should be encrypted and independently stored. | recommended-not-confirmed |
Storage
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S3-compatible object storage or controlled NAS | Raw imagery, E57, LAS/LAZ, GeoTIFF, models, splats and issued technical files. | Private data requires access controls, signed links, retention and audit logging. | platform-required |
Software
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WebODM/OpenDroneMap | Orthomosaics, point clouds, surface models, contours and textured models. | Output quality depends on capture geometry, control, configuration and QA. | free-open-source | |
| QGIS/PostGIS | Spatial layers, maps, takeoffs, GeoPackages, database geometry and exhibits. | Professional reliance depends on source/control and review, not the software name. | free-open-source | |
| CloudCompare/PDAL/GDAL | Point-cloud inspection, registration, comparison, conversion and automated pipelines. | Transformations and edits must be documented and reproducible. | free-open-source | |
| Nerfstudio/gsplat/SuperSplat-compatible stack | Gaussian-splat training, cleanup, compression, viewer preparation and web delivery. | Training code, datasets and model rights require license review; splats are visualization rather than authoritative geometry. | free-open-source-with-license-review | |
| Spreadsheet, document and PDF reporting tools | Registers, takeoffs, evidence binders, proposals and client deliverables. | Professional conclusions require authorized review. | platform-required |
software-service
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matterport Cloud and project-specific exports | Digital-twin processing, E57, MatterPak, floor plans, CAD/BIM and sharing. | Export availability, subscription and fees vary by product and project. | paid-as-needed |
specialty-capture
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radiometric thermal camera or thermal drone | Thermal anomaly screening for roof, solar, electrical and envelope workflows. | Not included in current confirmed equipment; interpretation requires qualified thermography and verification. | not-confirmed-additional-equipment |
professional-partner
| Capability | Purpose | Limitations | Status | Service cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Licensed survey partner and survey instruments | Boundary, certified topographic and other legally relied-upon survey work. | Must be contracted and controlled by an appropriately licensed surveyor. | partner-required-for-legal-survey | |
| Qualified professional reviewers | Tax, engineering, surveying, roofing, thermal, insurance, valuation and legal conclusions. | AI and capture technicians do not replace licensed or qualified judgment. | partner-as-required |
What equipment does not establish
- Consumer and prosumer GNSS does not produce legal-survey or RTK-grade positioning on its own.
- Thermal and moisture indications are documentation, not a diagnosis; qualified specialists interpret them.
- Capture accuracy depends on control, access, conditions and the stated accuracy class agreed in scope.
- Sealed, licensed or certified conclusions always come from the qualified professional of record.
