Methodology

How Scopebase builds a repair-risk deal brief.

Scopebase is a pre-offer underwriting screen, not a contractor bid. The system turns inspection findings, regional pricing data, and validation checks into a report that shows where the number is solid, where it breaks, and what still needs field verification before you commit.

Why It Is Defensible

Evidence and limitations travel with the number.

Scopebase is a pre-inspection screening tool. Its job is to make the current evidence, cost context, uncertainty, and next verification step readable before the option period closes.

Input Provenance

Each scope item stays connected to the inspection finding or note that caused it. Thin evidence is labeled instead of silently upgraded into certainty.

Regional Context

Pricing logic adjusts for regional cost differences and records the cost-data vintage used for the run. Market coverage and freshness remain visible in the methodology.

Uncertainty by Design

Ranges, confidence, and contingency communicate how much can still move. A wide band is a diligence signal—not a defect to hide behind a precise total.

Field Verification

Hidden conditions, permit complexity, structural questions, and final scope decisions stay with licensed professionals. The brief tells you what to verify next.

Screening guidance: Estimates carry a +/-30-50% accuracy range typical of pre-inspection screening tools. Confirm major repairs with the appropriate inspector, contractor, engineer, or local authority.
