Evidence-Linked Estimation

Evidence-Linked Estimation keeps your scope connected to the evidence behind it. Because lines are generated from findings — which are themselves tied to the exact photos that support them — the estimate isn't a floating list of numbers. Each item can trace back to something you can show.

That connection is the whole point: when your file gets reviewed later, the scope should be able to point to why each line is there.

The chain, end to end

Capture — photos, video, and measurements are taken in the field, each tied to an area.
Findings — the AI (and you) identify damage, and each finding links to the photo that supports it.
Scope — line items are generated from those findings.
Estimate — the finished scope carries that lineage forward.

Follow any line back and you can reach the evidence it rests on.

The Evidence panel

Inside the Estimate, an Evidence view lets you see the support behind your scope as you build it — so gaps are visible before the file leaves your hands, not after a reviewer finds them. If a line has thin support, that's your signal to capture more or adjust the scope.

Why it matters for review

A line that points to a dated, located photo is far easier to defend than one that stands alone.
Reviewers reconcile estimates against evidence; when your scope already carries that link, there's less to argue about.
It also protects you — if a line is questioned, the support is right there.

Keep it honest

Evidence-linking makes a scope more defensible; it doesn't make it automatically correct or admissible. The professional building and submitting the estimate is still responsible for its accuracy and completeness. Use the link to keep yourself honest: if a line can't point to anything, ask whether it belongs.
