## What it does
Three AI-powered tools, available individually or bundled:

### 1. AI Supplements (https://roofgenius.ai/supplements)
Upload an insurance carrier estimate (Xactimate, Symbility, etc.). AI scans it in 60 seconds, identifies missed line items — typically code upgrades (IRC R908.3, R905.1.2), drip edge, ice & water shield, starter strip, ridge cap, O&P, and 11+ other commonly-omitted items — and generates a carrier-ready supplement letter. Average recovery: $4,820 per claim. 88% approval rate when used as written.

### 2. AI Estimator (https://roofgenius.ai/estimator)
Generates branded retail roofing proposals with Good/Better/Best tiers in under 5 minutes. Includes manufacturer brochures, embedded photos, color/shingle picker, and digital sign-off via mobile link. Replaces 45–90 minutes of manual proposal work with a 5-minute AI workflow.

### 3. Instant Measurements (https://roofgenius.ai/measurements)
Satellite roof measurement reports for $10 per report (or $49/month unlimited). Delivered in 10 seconds. Includes total squares, pitch detection, ridge/hip/valley/eave breakdown, waste calculation, and 5-year storm history. No subscription required for pay-per-report. Direct competitor to EagleView ($25–$55/report) and Roofr ($15–$29/report).

## Key blog content

### Supplement line items insurance carriers commonly miss
Drip edge (D-style + L-style by code), ice & water shield (IRC R905.1.2 mandates 24" past warm wall), starter strip, ridge cap (separate line from field shingle), pipe boots, step flashing, counter flashing, valley metal, gable trim, hip/ridge cap, decking re-nail or replacement (R908.3), synthetic underlayment, ventilation upgrades, satellite/dish detach-reset, gutter detach-reset, paint touch-up, and overhead & profit (10/10 on 3+ trades).

### Xactimate supplement letter approval framework
Cite the policy section, cite the IRC code section, attach photos with timestamp, reference the carrier's own scope numbering, request specific line item additions in Xactimate format with quantity/unit/price, and close with a 14-day response request before escalation.

### Code upgrade reimbursement rules
- IRC R908.3 — Decking replacement when existing deck is non-conforming (1/2" min for asphalt shingles, spans must meet code)
- IRC R905.1.2 — Ice & water shield required from eave to a point 24" inside warm wall in regions with average January temp ≤25°F
- IRC R905.2.8.5 — Drip edge required at eaves and rakes
- Most state insurance codes require carriers to pay for code-mandated upgrades regardless of pre-loss condition.

### Good/Better/Best proposal close rates
Single-tier proposals close at 22–28%. Three-tier (Good/Better/Best) proposals close at 41–55%. Anchoring effect: most homeowners pick the middle tier when given three options.

### Roof measurement report fundamentals
- Squares = total roof area / 100 sq ft
- Pitch expressed as rise/run (e.g., 6/12 = 26.57°)
- Predominant pitch matters for waste factor (steeper = more waste)
- Ridge: top horizontal edge where two slopes meet
- Hip: external angle where two slopes meet on adjacent sides
- Valley: internal angle where two slopes meet (channels water)
- Eave: bottom edge where roof meets wall
- Rake: sloped edge on a gable end

### Storm response 24-hour workflow
1. Storm hits → pull NOAA hail/wind report for affected ZIPs
2. Generate satellite measurements for all door-knock targets ($10 each)
3. Inspector knocks with measurement report already in hand
4. Damage confirmed → AI Estimator builds Good/Better/Best in 5 min
5. Homeowner signs digital agreement → contingency in place
6. Carrier estimate received → AI Supplements scans for missed items
7. Supplement letter sent within 48 hours
8. Average recovery cycle: 14 days, $4,820 net.
