The Public Adjuster's Guide to Estimatics
How PAs use AI-powered documentation to build defensible claims, eliminate carrier disputes, and deliver results faster.

Why documentation wins claims
Every carrier dispute comes down to three questions: Was the inspector physically present? Was the damage real at the time of capture? Has the evidence been modified since? Most PA documentation answers none of these definitively. Estimatics answers all three automatically — every photo is GPS-tagged, NTP-timestamped, and cryptographically sealed.
The workflow: field to certified evidence
- Capture — Walk the property with the iOS app. Photos sync to the web dashboard in real time. Smart Field Workflow guides your inspection with dynamic checklists.
- Analyze — AI Damage Detection (Damage Intelligence Engine™) reviews every photo. Findings are classified by type, severity, and location.
- Scope — AI Scope Generation™ produces a complete line-item scope from your findings. Regional Pricing Engine™ adds local cost data.
- Certify — On CERTIFY, seal the evidence with TamperProof Evidence Chain™. The Defendibility Score™ shows your documentation strength before submission.
- Deliver — Export a professional branded report, Xactimate (ESX), or a certified evidence package.
CERTIFY for appraisal and litigation
When a claim goes to appraisal or litigation, standard documentation is vulnerable. CERTIFY creates an unbroken chain of custody — every photo, finding, and report version is cryptographically verified. An umpire can independently verify the hash chain. The carrier cannot claim modification.
