Frequently asked questions
Questions about your settlement, the paperwork, or what this costs.
How does AI improve a vehicle appraisal?
AI allows us to analyze far more comparable sales than a manual review could cover, identify pricing patterns that are not visible in small samples, and apply consistent weighting across condition, mileage, and equipment variables. The result is a valuation that reflects the full market rather than a curated subset of it.
Is an AI-assisted appraisal accepted by insurance companies?
Our appraisals are prepared by licensed appraisers who use AI-assisted analysis as a tool, not a replacement for human judgment. The final report is signed by a credentialed professional and meets the documentation standards required by most appraisal clauses. The analysis method is disclosed — we do not hide the methodology.
What data sources does your system use?
We draw from publicly available vehicle listing and transaction databases, auction results, and dealer inventory data to build a picture of your local and regional market. We do not use proprietary insurer data, which means our analysis is fully independent.
How accurate is the appraisal system?
Accuracy depends on market depth — how many comparable vehicles are available in your geography and time window. In dense markets with abundant comparable sales, our estimates are highly reliable. In thin markets, we disclose the data limitations and adjust our confidence range accordingly.
Can I use this appraisal to challenge my insurer's valuation report?
Yes. Our appraisal can be submitted as a counter-valuation under your policy's appraisal clause. If your insurer's report used poor comparables or opaque adjustments, our analysis provides a documented alternative built on transparent, verifiable market data.
