# Progress Photo Analyzer

## Business Case

### Problem Statement
Site photos are underutilized for progress tracking:
- Manual review is time-consuming
- Subjective progress assessment
- No systematic comparison to plans
- Safety issues may be missed

### Solution
AI-powered photo analysis system that extracts progress information, detects safety concerns, and compares site conditions to BIM models.

### Business Value
- **Automation** - Reduce manual photo review
- **Accuracy** - Objective progress measurement
- **Safety** - Automatic hazard detection
- **Documentation** - Structured photo records
