I'd challenge your statement that there's nothing available for some of your biggest potential markets, unless you're talking a more complete lifecycle solution specifically targeting verticals than just the data collection. Also, what's the "automation" component? To me that implies some form of automatic data collection or predictive workflow creation - both which are huge selling points, but hard to pull off.
Finally a key feature that you could consider are the document management aspects around data collection. Even big organizations do this poorly. The ability to accurately group and find related documents (like inspections over time or by project) tends to be missing in data collection. As a user I likely have one or more sets of related documents that fit together based on some component of my workflow that I share with a team, clients regulators and the public in different capacities. The most common solution I see is the network share and an email alias.
Good luck with your venture and enjoy the ride!
