TradeFlow Every triaged request is a job. Every job is the market.

Triage inbox

Tenant requests arrive as email and SMS. Each one is read, classified, scoped against the owner's approval limit and turned into a job before any tradie knows it exists.

    About this play

    The second-order thesis behind this demo, in plain English.

    The first-order wedge

    The obvious product is an AI assistant for residential property managers: it reads the tenant emails, drafts the replies, and handles the maintenance requests. That is useful on day one for a single agency with nobody else on the platform, which is what makes it a viable way in. It is also not the business.

    What the wedge quietly accrues

    Triaging a maintenance request produces something valuable as a by-product: a job. Not a lead, not an enquiry — a specific piece of work at a specific address, already classified by trade, already scoped, already approved by the owner to a dollar figure, with the tenant's availability attached. A single agency running 300 properties throws off more repeat trade work in a year than thousands of one-off consumers. It also accrues the thing nobody else has: what those jobs actually cost, by trade, by suburb, after the work was done.

    The two parties it connects

    On one side, property managers, who hate chasing three quotes for a $300 job and would rather the system just book someone reliable. On the other, tradies, who currently pay lead-generation platforms for a phone number and a bidding war. Marketplaces like hipages and ServiceSeeking sell consumer leads one at a time. This arrives with recurring, portfolio-scale flow — pre-scoped, pre-funded jobs that show up every week from the same agencies. That asymmetry is why the tradie side is the one willing to pay.

    Endgame

    Give the PM assistant away cheaply — it solves the cold-start problem by being worth using with zero tradies on the network. Once job flow exists, charge the tradie side: a subscription for guaranteed portfolio flow, or a take-rate on the work. The third-order prize is the pricing dataset itself, which underwrites instant quoting and maintenance-warranty products nobody can price without it.

    What would validate it

    Two conversations. A property manager confirming they would accept an auto-suggested tradie for sub-$500 jobs without collecting quotes. And one tradie saying what they would pay per month for guaranteed portfolio flow.
