Industry Standards & Compliance

Proof OS aligns directly with rigorous technical requirements:

• IICRC S500 / S520 Standards: Real-time psychrometric tracking, GPP air calculations, and moisture migration mapping.
• Xactimate Line-Item Parity: Automated translation of field telemetry into defensible scoping codes.
• Automated Emergency Dispatch: Zero-latency call intake and crew assignment for rapid water/fire mitigation.

The Field Implementation Checklist

1. Pre-Mitigation Documentation: Capture time-stamped thermal and moisture readings before teardown.
2. Real-Time Adjuster Portal: Share automated progress logs and psychrometric dry-out curves.
3. Defensible Scope Verification: Eliminate estimate disputes with cryptographic, time-stamped proof of work.
