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 (thermal delta-T, moisture percentages) into defensible scoping codes.
  • Automated Dispatch & Intake: Zero-latency call routing and crew assignment to eliminate missed revenue and lead loss.

The Field Implementation Checklist

  1. Pre-Mitigation Documentation: Capture time-stamped thermal and moisture readings before physical teardown.
  2. Real-Time Client & Adjuster Portal: Share automated progress updates with full audit logs.
  3. Defensible Billing: Eliminate carrier disputes with cryptographic, time-stamped proof of work.
