Gathering real-world hardware & product flaws for a Young Enterprise pitch

Hi everyone,

I’m a sixth form student in the UK Young Enterprise program. I’ve built a web platform called The Problem Vault—a site that crowdsources real-world hardware problems, broken tools, and equipment flaws so our team can either manufacture custom fixes or source existing solutions online.

I am preparing to pitch this business model to my team, and I want to back up my pitch with real submissions to prove demand.

As makers and hackspace members, you deal with bad tool designs, broken gear, and hardware frustrations daily. Could you take 30 seconds to log 1 or 2 annoying product or tool flaws you’ve run into?

Submit them directly on our live platform: https://problemvault-engineering.lovable.app/

Having entries from active makers will give my pitch solid proof. Thanks a lot for supporting a student enterprise!
