Hits “New Operating Systems for the Physical World”: a job is a live workflow on a site, not a ticket in an office tool. This is the book this login opens.
A field operating system that routes a job between an AI quoting agent, a site robot, and a human tech with a wearable.
Fictional company. Shown as a Y Combinator login would see it. Other firms' books stay closed on this login.

Robot plus field OS plus safety is years, not days. Hardware, liability, and a three-actor loop are a full company, not a weekend product.
Labor is 10–100× software. End-to-end field data — quote, site, robot, tech — is the moat. That is the company.
Example dispatch cycle time, quote to on-site. Not a real metric.
Example contractor seats on the OS. Not a real customer count.
Example robot-first vs human-led mix, wearable in the loop. Not a real split.
Illustrative comparable bands for this category, not a 409A and not a bid. Tagged example so the format is visible.
Post-money if a few crews are live on the OS. Comps: early field-ops SaaS, not a copilot round.
If they own quote-to-done on the site, not just the office. The jump is workflow ownership, not seats.
Strategic sale range if they become the OS of a trade. Public comps in the neighborhood: ServiceTitan, Samsara-class field platforms. Not a forecast.
Example data. Built from public category comps, not Trestle books. Live dossiers use the same frame on real companies.
Who would buy Trestle, and why this product, not a generic field app.
ServiceTitan, Salesforce Field Service, Autodesk Construction, Home Depot Pro. They own the office. They buy Trestle to own the site: quote agent, robot, tech, wearable in one loop. Five to seven years if the data compounds.
Robot and equipment OEMs (site mules, HVAC majors). They buy the software layer so their machine is the default worker on the job, not a bolt-on. Only works if Trestle is vendor-neutral long enough to be worth capturing.
Public only if they become the operating system of a whole trade, not a feature. Default path is a strategic sale. PE is a backup if ARR is real and growth is boring.
Specific to this idea. Live dossiers name acquirers and the asset they would actually be buying.
A wrong quote plus a robot on a roof is a lawsuit, not a bug. Field OS without a hard stop is uninvestable.
ServiceTitan and Jobber own the office. Trestle has to own the site, or it is another layer those two absorb.
If the robot vendor dies or the wearable is a toy, the OS collapses back into a dashboard. Software cannot bluff the physical loop.
