scopec applies aerospace-grade infrared physics and autonomous AI to building inspection — accurate, scalable, and honest.
A structural failure in the industry — not technology — has kept building inspection decades behind engineering.
SMEs locked in subcontractor chains. Large clients want cheap; vendors can't afford R&D. Technology is never rewarded.
Drone operators without thermodynamics or NDT knowledge. Infrared physics is absent from nearly every workflow.
One inspector, one building. No automation. No feedback loop that makes the system smarter over time.
Wait for failure, then rebuild. The compounding cost — economic, environmental — is enormous and preventable.
"Why does the inspection industry's technology never advance?"— The founding question behind scopec
scopec applies the same non-destructive testing principles used in aerospace — to every building it inspects.
Solar angles, shadow simulations, and wall orientation computed before flight. Every scan optimized for thermal signal quality.
IR data corrected for emissivity, shadow, viewing angle, and weather. Anomalies separated from noise using first-principles physics.
AI extracts candidates with confidence scores. Expert reviews. Report auto-generated with 3D positioning and severity ranking — in hours.
NDT + infrared thermal physics modeling. Aerospace methods applied to building structures.
Ground-truth labeled data from Japan's general contractors — inaccessible to US competitors.
1 operator → N autonomous drones. The scalability lever that turns inspection into a platform.
Partnerships with Japanese SME inspection firms, licensed architects, and major GCs.
scopec was not built on a market opportunity. It was built on a conviction.
Data science without physical models is pattern matching. Every algorithm in scopec is grounded in thermodynamics and first principles.
The temples of Kyoto have stood for a millennium through disciplined maintenance. scopec extends the life of structures for the generations after.
We publish the confidence score. We show the uncertainty. In a market built on liability, trust compounds faster than any growth hack.
One operator. N autonomous drones. Human expertise deployed at the point of judgment — not execution.
Studied Aerospace Engineering at Kyoto University. Received offers from McKinsey, Mitsubishi Corporation, and DBJ. Declined all of them.
The most talented engineers in Japan are being consumed as labor by finance and consulting. That is a national loss. The answer is to build something only engineers can build.
We're building relationships with inspection firms, building owners, and investors who believe the built environment deserves better technology.
