Demo Script — 15 and 30 minute variants¶
A LAIRA demo is most effective when the prospect sees a real scan run end-to-end. If the caller has access to an iPhone Pro and the LAIRA app, do it live. If not, use the pre-recorded demo videos at airwai.com/demo (placeholder; ask Airwai for the current demo asset).
15-minute demo (default)¶
Use for: most prospects, time-constrained calls, second touch after a discovery.
| Minute | Section | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 0–1 | Opener | "Quick recap of what you told me last time. Confirm I got it right." |
| 1–3 | Capture | Show the app opening, route selection, scan starting. Walk the point cloud building in real time. |
| 3–7 | Detection + classification | Show distresses appearing as the scan runs. Click into a distress — show the standard citation, the geolocation, the confidence score. |
| 7–10 | ArcGIS push | Sync to sample tenant. Show feature service appearing in ArcGIS Online. Open one feature in ArcGIS. |
| 10–12 | Output formats | Show PDF report — flip to the audit-citation page. Show IFC export option. |
| 12–14 | Pricing in product | Settings → Subscription. Show Free / Pro / Team in product. |
| 14–15 | Close | Three paths: Free tier now, 30-day Pro trial, Pro annual. Which? |
30-minute demo (deeper)¶
Use for: high-value prospects, AEC firms evaluating Team tier, persona-specific deep dives.
| Minute | Section | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | Opener + recap | Confirm their workflow, their tools, their decision criteria. |
| 3–8 | Capture deep-dive | Start a scan. Walk through capture settings, route planning, offline mode, multi-pass. |
| 8–15 | Detection deep-dive | All 19 D6433 AC + 19 PCC distresses. PROWAG slope detection. MUTCD marking degradation. Cite the standard for each. |
| 15–20 | ArcGIS deep-dive | Push to tenant. Show schema. Open in ArcGIS Pro (if customer uses Pro). Show portal config options. |
| 20–24 | Output workflow | PDF, IFC, CSV. Show how each format lands in their downstream system (PAVER, Cartegraph, Revit). |
| 24–27 | Team / collaboration | If Team-tier prospect: show shared library, audit log, RBAC, ABM distribution. |
| 27–30 | Close + next steps | Trial setup live on the call, or scheduling for procurement / pilot. |
Demo principles¶
- Show real data, not staged screenshots. Even if it's a parking lot you scanned that morning, real data is more persuasive than a polished slide.
- Cite the standard. Every time a distress is flagged, say what standard section it's classified against. This is the differentiator; do not skip it.
- Let them drive when they want. If the prospect asks "can I see X," give them the controls. The most persuasive demo is the one where the prospect navigates.
- Don't pitch features they don't need. If they're a solo ADA consultant, don't show them Team features. If they're a Team prospect, don't dwell on the Free tier.
- Always end with a specific next step. Either a trial activation, a follow-up call on a date, or a clean "this isn't a fit, here's why" close.
Pre-recorded demo videos (when live demo isn't possible)¶
If the caller can't run a live demo (device unavailable, network issue, ArcGIS tenant access constrained):
| Video | Length | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LAIRA app — full workflow (capture → ArcGIS → PDF) | 8 min | Default fallback |
| ADA / PROWAG sidewalk audit walk-through | 5 min | Sarah persona |
| Part 139 self-inspection workflow | 6 min | James persona |
| Municipal pavement workflow with PAVER export | 7 min | Maya persona |
| Industrial-facility forklift-surface walk-through | 5 min | Carmen persona |
Ask Airwai for the current asset URLs; videos are versioned with each app release.
Common demo pitfalls¶
| Pitfall | Fix |
|---|---|
| Talking over the prospect during the scan | Silence is fine. Let the product carry the moment. |
| Skipping the standard citation | This is the differentiator. Don't skip it. |
| Going too deep on technical details | They didn't ask about LiDAR FOV. Skip it unless they ask. |
| Ending without a clear next step | "I'll send the trial activation link as soon as we hang up. Talk Friday." |
| Demoing on a device without LiDAR | Use a device the prospect's company actually has. iPhone 12 Pro minimum. |
