Session 1 Handoff to Session 2
Market Research → Technical Integration
Date: 2025-11-13 Status: ✅ COMPLETE - Ready for Session 2
Mission Accomplished
- ✅ Market analysis complete (€14.6B European recreational boating market)
- ✅ Competitive landscape mapped (9 apps analyzed, zero combine daily engagement + docs)
- ✅ Pain points identified (€15K-€50K inventory loss, 80% remote monitoring anxiety)
- ✅ Evidence database compiled (87 claims, 85% verified)
Key Findings for Session 2 (Technical Integration)
1. Market Opportunity Size
Validated Target:
- 40-60ft recreational motor boats
- €800K-€1.5M price range
- 250-300 boats/year at Riviera Plaisance alone
- European market: €14.6B total, €3.8B luxury segment
Technical Implication: Design for scale (500+ boats within 2 years if Riviera partnership succeeds)
2. Owner Pain Points (Priority for Technical Architecture)
| Pain Point | Financial Impact | Technical Solution Required |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory loss at resale | €15K-€50K | Photo-based inventory module with receipt/warranty linking |
| Remote monitoring anxiety | High psychological value | HA camera integration via RTSP/ONVIF protocols |
| Maintenance tracking chaos | €5K-€100K/year costs | Push notification system + service log database |
| Finding service providers | €500-€5K per repair | Contact management module with search/filtering |
| Documentation chaos | €1K-€10K delayed claims | Document vault with OCR + structured search |
| Expense tracking | €60K-€100K/year hidden | Budget alert system + bank integration API |
3. Competitor Feature Gaps (NaviDocs Must Address)
Gap 1: No app combines daily engagement + comprehensive documentation
- Savvy Navvy: Navigation only
- TheBoatApp: Documentation only
- NaviDocs requirement: Daily camera check + perfect docs
Gap 2: Zero apps solve €15K-€50K inventory loss problem
- NaviDocs requirement: Equipment inventory with photos, receipts, warranty tracking
Gap 3: No Home Assistant integration exists
- Siren Marine, Garmin OnDeck = closed ecosystems
- NaviDocs advantage: Open HA integration (any RTSP camera, any sensor)
4. Sticky Engagement Features (Development Priority)
Tier 1 (Daily Hook - MUST HAVE):
- Camera monitoring via HA (alert-driven, not manual check-in)
- Daily health digest (battery, bilge, temperature summary)
Tier 2 (Weekly Value - HIGH PRIORITY):
- Maintenance reminders (personalized, <2 notifications/week)
- Expense tracking with budget alerts
- Trip logging (auto-populated from GPS/engine hours)
Tier 3 (Monthly/Annual - SUPPORT FEATURES):
- Inventory & supplies management
- Contact directory (marina, mechanics, vendors)
- Documentation vault (insurance, manuals, warranties)
Technical Note:
- DAU/MAU target: 10-15% (boat apps are event-driven, not daily)
- 30-day retention target: 25-35% with daily hook (vs 12-18% without)
- Notification fatigue threshold: >1-2 alerts/week = opt-out
5. Search UX Requirements (Critical for Inventory)
User Requirement: "No long lists - structured, impeccable search results"
Technical Implementation:
- Visual card-based results (NOT text lists)
- Grid layout: 2 columns mobile, 3 tablet
- Zone-first navigation: Galley → Bridge → Deck → Engine → Cabin
- Autocomplete: Max 8 suggestions, trigger after 1st character
- Voice search: "Show me tender warranty" (45% adoption 18-24 yr olds)
- Swipe actions: Left = archive, Right = quick action
- Zero-state: Show "High-Value Items," "Warranty Expiring Soon"
Boat-Specific Facets:
Primary Filters:
Zone: [Galley, Bridge, Deck, Engine Room, Cabin, Exterior]
Category: [Electronics, Safety, Maintenance, Upgrades]
Status: [Active Warranty, Expiring (<30 days), Expired, No Warranty]
Value: [€0-1K, €1K-€5K, €5K-10K, €10K+]
6. Home Assistant Integration (High Feasibility ✅)
Confidence: 0.96 (real-world boat deployments proven)
Camera Integration:
- Protocol: RTSP/ONVIF (any IP camera compatible)
- Certified Systems: Reolink (native HA integration), Hikvision (generic integration)
- Marine Cameras: Hikvision IP67+, Reolink IP66, SANNCE IP67 (€80-€600)
- API Pattern: HA REST API camera_proxy endpoint
Sensor Integration:
- Victron Battery: Via Modbus TCP or MQTT (voltage, current, SOC %)
- SignalK NMEA2000: GPS, depth, wind, engine RPM via MQTT
- Zigbee Sensors: Bilge water, temperature, humidity (ESPHome)
Recommended Architecture:
NaviDocs App → HA REST API → Boat Sensors/Cameras
(polling)
HA Automations → Webhooks → NaviDocs API
(push alerts)
Hardware Setup:
- Raspberry Pi 4 (€50) + microSD (€10) + power (€15) = €75
- Setup time: 2-3 hours for owner
- Alternative: "Smart Boat Kit" service (€300-500 revenue opportunity)
Competitive Advantage:
- ❌ ZERO boat apps integrate with HA currently
- ✅ NaviDocs = first open ecosystem boat management app
- ✅ 90% cost savings vs Siren Marine (€150 vs €2K-4K)
7. Pricing Strategy Input (For Backend Architecture)
Recommended Model: Mercedes 3-year broker-included
- Years 1-3: Broker pays €200/year (owner gets full premium)
- Year 4+: Owner pays €180/year (€15/month) OR free basic tier
Technical Implications:
- Multi-tenant architecture (broker accounts + owner accounts)
- Feature flagging (premium vs free tier)
- Subscription management (renewal billing, downgrade flow)
- Usage tracking (for broker ROI reporting)
Freemium Tier Structure (If broker rejects):
- Free: Documentation vault, basic contacts, 50 photos/month
- Premium €19.99/mo: Cameras, inventory, maintenance, expenses, unlimited photos
