Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A diagnostic mobile app that uses image recognition to identify common door frame failure points based on user-uploaded photos.

Real voices
“I noticed some water coming from underneath the trim piece under my sliding glass door... A few days later however after more rain, the moisture collected again. I decided to do some more investigation and a stray screw that looks broken off and rusted going from interior to exterior. It also seems to be the area where there is the most moisture.”
