Startup Idea: Reverse Engineering PCB Circuits Software

Startup idea to develop a highly accurate software that can scan and reverse engineer single and double sided pcb circuits. The software should be easy to use and able to generate a schematic, making accurate guesses on components needed for repair or refurbishment. This can benefit various fields dealing with electronics.

Software that is able to scan and reverse engineer single and or double sided pcb circuits with ease and as few steps as possible wile being extremely accurate.

I refurbish amplifiers for a living and there are numerous companies that do not have or are not willing to supply replacement parts or schematics. for some vintage highly sought after amplifiers this cam become an expensive or impossible mission.

I could not only see this being extremely useful in my line of work but in a whole slew of other electronics occupations. If and easy to use accurate piece of software like this was made i would be purchasing it asap. this software would need to be able to create a schematic and be able to make basically an accurate guess to what components would work and what differences each component would make when a component is either missing or two burned to identify,

I found several claims of working software that just didn't perform to the accuracy needed so i am forced to either hand trace and draw a schematic if the components are readable but for the most part there has not been a solution found and many of these amps go unpaired.
