Slate

Same visit, priced, in language a spouse can repeat

Slate does the assembly — price book, scope narrative, photo evidence, financing options, warranty terms — in minutes, so the inspector’s judgment reaches the kitchen table while the homeowner is still standing in it.

Interactive demo

Watch Slate work a real case.

Step through it one action at a time. Nothing here is a mock-up of a chat window — these are the actual stages of a run, including the checks that happen before anything visible occurs.

A 1,400 sq ft basement with bowing block wall and drainage failure

Inspector completes a 90-minute inspection: 41 photos, deflection measurements on the north wall, evidence of hydrostatic pressure and a failed exterior drain. Historically this proposal would be built that evening and emailed Thursday.

What it's for

The problems Slate exists to solve.

01

The window closes before the PDF arrives

Two to five days after the visit, the urgency and often the job are gone — to whoever left something on the kitchen table.

02

The most expensive field person does clerical work at night

Two to three hours per inspection assembling documents, performed after a full day of appointments. It is a retention problem as much as a throughput one.

03

Pricing and warranty language drift

Hand-built proposals diverge across inspectors and branches until a claim arrives and four versions of the terms are found in the field.

Capabilities

What it actually does.

Condition-to-scope mapping

Selects templated scope narrative and product options from the inspector’s recorded observations — never from its own structural determination.

One price book

Prices from a single versioned book with branch-level rules, so variation becomes visible instead of normal.

Evidence assembly

Places the specific photographs and measurements that support each line item, captioned in plain language.

Financing and payment framing

Presents approved financing options and monthly equivalents alongside the total, within the terms your lender partners allow.

Versioned warranty terms

Emits current, auditable warranty and exclusion language on every document — one version, network-wide.

Guardrails
  • Slate never makes a structural determination — anchors versus beam, engineer involvement, and soil interpretation stay with the inspector.
  • No proposal is delivered to a homeowner until the inspector reviews and releases it.
  • Prices come only from the versioned price book; discretionary discounts require a named approver and are logged.
  • Every line item must be traceable to a recorded observation or it is flagged, not printed.

Human handoff: The inspector reviews the draft on a tablet, edits scope or sequence, and releases it. Anything requiring an engineer of record is routed before pricing is shown.

Questions

Straight answers.

Does Slate decide the repair?

No. It maps recorded observations to scope options from the price book and prices what the inspector selects. Structural determinations, engineer involvement, and soil interpretation stay human.

What if pricing is inconsistent across inspectors today?

You will see it in week two. Same-day generation from one price book makes variation visible that slow, hand-built proposals conceal.

What does the field actually gain?

The proposal window, and their evenings. Two to three hours of nightly clerical assembly per inspection disappears — which shows up in retention, not just throughput.
