What you're actually dealing with

The work that's eating your team

You know what's broken. Here are the parts the system can run without you.

Speed-to-lead determines whether you get the job

Industry data: 9-21x conversion lift responding within 5 minutes vs 30+. Restoration: insurance referral partners send to whoever responds first. AI responds in 60-90 seconds, 24/7.

Insurance documentation determines whether you get paid

Restoration jobs that lack proper photo + reading + scope documentation get reduced or denied by carrier review. AI structures documentation as the field crew works.

Dispatch is the difference between 50 and 70 jobs

Trades operations live or die on truck utilization. Continuous dispatch optimization is what separates the high-volume operators from the rest.

Estimates take a senior tech 1-3 hours each

Photo-based + AI-drafted estimates compress that to 15 minutes of senior review on a draft. Same accuracy, much higher velocity.

Customer communications are inconsistent and reactive

Some customers get great updates; others get crickets. AI sends consistent updates from job activity events; office handles exceptions.

Membership / recurring revenue requires consistent renewal hygiene

Memberships drive 30-50% of trades revenue. Renewal cadence + payment retry + win-back is exactly what AI does best.

Phased rollout

What the first 6 months look like

We ship in phases, each with a measurable success criterion before the next phase begins.

1

Weeks 1-4

Foundation: 24/7 first-touch + dispatch

  • Lead Intake Intelligence (24/7) live
  • Inbound call triage live
  • Dispatch optimization engine live

By end of Phase 1, median first-touch under 60s 24/7 and dispatch decisions are optimized in real-time.

2

Weeks 5-12

Documentation + estimating

  • Photo + reading auto-categorizer live (restoration)
  • Photo-based quoting engine live
  • Xactimate-compatible scope drafter live (restoration)

By end of Phase 2, restoration documentation is structured as the work happens; trades quoting cycle compresses 50%.

3

Weeks 13-20

Insurance + customer comms cadence

  • Carrier status update drafter live (restoration)
  • TPA invoice format generator live (restoration)
  • Daily homeowner progress message live (restoration)

By end of Phase 3, every customer + carrier gets consistent daily comms and invoice cycles compress 30-50%.

4

Weeks 21-26

Retention + recruiting + intelligence

  • Membership renewal orchestrator live (trades)
  • QA pattern detector live (cleaning)
  • Recruiting pipeline manager live

By end of Phase 4, retention metrics are surfaced proactively, recruiting pipeline runs without partner attention, and operational intelligence is at-a-glance.

Compliance & governance

What the AI is allowed to do, and what it isn't

Field operations + customer trust + insurance documentation are the high-stakes surfaces. AI handles the mechanical layer; humans make the field, customer, and insurance judgment calls.

TCPA / state telemarketing rules

Outbound SMS + voice contacts trigger TCPA + state telemarketing rules. AI workflows must respect consent, time-of-day, and opt-out.

  • Consent + opt-out tracking on every contact
  • Time-of-day rules (no SMS before 8am or after 9pm local)
  • Honor opt-out across channels
  • Audit log of every outbound contact

Insurance carrier vendor requirements (restoration)

Restoration vendors are subject to carrier-specific vendor program requirements (Servpro, PuroClean SPAR, IICRC certifications, response time SLAs).

  • Response time monitoring per carrier referral
  • Documentation completeness tracking against carrier requirements
  • Audit trail meeting carrier vendor program standards
  • Per-vendor program reporting and KPI tracking

Boundary: We support, never replace, the franchise's vendor relationship management. The franchise owner is the relationship.

PCI DSS (payment processing)

Trades + cleaning + restoration take card payments; PCI obligations follow.

  • No card data stored; tokenized references only
  • PCI DSS validated infrastructure under platform-level SOC 2

OSHA + state contractor licensing

Field operations have safety + licensing obligations for tech onboarding.

  • Tech license + cert verification before dispatch
  • Safety document tracking + expiration alerts
