The 30-Second Test™ — MicroPlow
| Question | MicroPlow answer |
|---|---|
| What is it? | A stair tread with the plow groove already machined in. |
| Who is it for? | Installers and the dealers who supply them. |
| Why should I care? | It removes the fillet step entirely — fewer parts, fewer cuts, less measuring. |
| Why is it better? | We timed both installations side by side. MicroPlow finished 41% faster with a cleaner result. |
| Why should I buy it now? | Every job you run this month with fillets costs labor you don't need to spend. |

The Opportunity Brief — MicroPlow
| Field | Answer |
|---|---|
| What problem exists? | Fillet installation is slow, fussy, and easy to get wrong. |
| Who experiences it? | Installers first; dealers absorb the returns and complaints. |
| How often? | On essentially every plowed-rail staircase. |
| What does it cost them? | Roughly 30–45 minutes of skilled labor per run, plus rework risk. |
| How is it solved today? | Cut-to-length fillet stock, glued and pinned on site. |
| Revenue opportunity? | Premium tread pricing across the existing dealer base. |
| Competitive landscape? | No direct equivalent from primary competitors. |
| Why Evermark? | We already own the tread profile tooling and the dealer relationships. |
| Success metrics? | Install time reduction, dealer stocking rate, repeat purchase rate. |
| Go / No-Go | GO — Customer Insight Score 91. |
