The Property Attorney's Guide to Estimatics

Evidence standards are changing

In appraisal and litigation, digital evidence is increasingly scrutinized. Courts and umpires expect documentation that can answer: Was this person present? Was this the actual condition? Has this evidence been modified?

Standard property claim documentation — photos in a folder, a scope in Xactimate, notes in an email — cannot answer these questions definitively.

What Certified Evidence contains

On the CERTIFY plan, every evidence package includes:

• Original photographs — unmodified binary files
• GPS coordinates — verified location at time of capture
• NTP-synchronized timestamps — carrier-grade time accuracy
• Device identifier and app version — provenance chain
• AI findings — linked to their source photographs
• TamperProof Evidence Chain™ — cryptographic hash linking every capture in sequence

If even one pixel changes in any file, the hash chain breaks — revealing the modification.

The Defendibility Score™

Before submission, the Defendibility Score™ analyzes the documentation for completeness, consistency, and evidentiary strength. It flags gaps — missing areas, insufficient coverage, unlinked findings — so the evidence package can be strengthened before it faces adversarial review.

Actor-specific report templates

CERTIFY includes report templates designed for specific audiences: Carrier, PA, Attorney, and Homeowner. Each template presents the same evidence in the format that audience expects and respects.

What Certified Evidence does NOT certify

Certification verifies the evidence — not the interpretation. It does not prove causation, assign liability, or replace professional judgment. The attorney's expertise and the PA's license still govern the claim. The evidence simply becomes unassailable.

Getting started

Property attorneys typically work with a PA or contractor who uses Estimatics in the field. You receive the certified evidence package for your legal proceedings. You can also onboard directly for firms that manage their own field inspections.
