InstantRoofIQ 2.0 · Live

Know your roof's number before any salesman calls.

Enter one address to start a free property review and request a five-page roof planning report — roof size, pitch, facets, lineals where supported, a recommended waste allowance, and a budget range in three tiers. Every valid matched property receives a best-available planning result. Strong evidence can support measured inputs; limited evidence produces a broader result labeled ESTIMATED and not for ordering. No phone call or login is required.

Every valid matched property gets a result: the report records its allowed review state, evidence labels, and assumptions. A roof value is called an independently reviewed measurement only after property-binding, evidence, and release checks have cleared. Otherwise, it remains a best-available planning estimate. This webpage never receives raw files, storage paths, or internal processing details. Every report remains a budgeting estimate—not a survey, material order, or binding price quote.

Three honest five-page report outcomes

Outcome 1Review-labeled result

Released roof values keep their review state. Unsupported roof edges remain withheld.

Outcome 2Estimated 2D range

Shown only when supplied by the engine, marked ESTIMATED and not for ordering.

Outcome 3Best-available planning result

When evidence is limited, documented assumptions produce a broader non-orderable estimate.

By choosing Build My Roof Report, you ask InstantRoofIQ to process the submitted property address through its property-data services to create the requested planning result. This is separate from optional marketing consent.

Trees and shadows trigger automatic evidence checks. When cover is heavy, the review checks dated property context and widens the planning assumptions when evidence remains limited.

No required contact fields. No automatic material order. Every valid matched property continues to a five-page planning report with measured inputs, an engine-supplied ESTIMATED range, or a broader best-available planning estimate.

Heavy obstruction detected.The review checks dated context automatically. Dated context is not hidden dimensional proof and cannot make an unsupported measurement order-ready.

Clear answers about the five-page report, measurements, recommended waste, ordering, and budget ranges.

How does InstantRoofIQ measure a roof?

Submitting an address starts a matched-property review. A roof value is described as an independently reviewed measurement only after the property-binding, evidence, and release checks have cleared. When they have not cleared, InstantRoofIQ still returns a clearly labeled best-available planning estimate. Residential and commercial assumptions are labeled, unsupported lineals are withheld, and a field or professional release is still required before material ordering.

How quickly can I get the report?

The property review begins after the property is confirmed. Every valid matched-property request receives a best-available planning result; internal review can refine it when stronger evidence becomes available. InstantRoofIQ does not promise a completion time. When review tracking is available, it shows only the current stage and next step.

Is InstantRoofIQ free, and will a salesman call me?

InstantRoofIQ is free. You can view the planning result without a required sales call. Inspector Roofing only uses the contact details you provide for follow-up when you choose the displayed consent option.

What happens when property evidence is limited?

InstantRoofIQ returns a broader, clearly labeled planning estimate using the best available matched-property evidence and documented assumptions. Inspector Roofing can refine that result internally before any proposal or material order. The planning result is never presented as a survey or independently reviewed measurement.

Are the roof and shingle colors exact?

No. The 3D roof and shingle colors are visual simulations for planning. Screen settings, lighting, manufacturing variation, and the actual roof surface can change appearance, so confirm a final selection with physical manufacturer samples.

How we measure · updated 2026-08-17 17:54 UTC

Every roof, measured from several independent sources

We never rely on one reading. A property is measured from aerial LiDAR, its building footprint, and any commercial report available, then combined so the sources check each other. When they disagree, the published range widens — disagreement is never averaged away.

Independent agreement8.19% median

Across 553 Georgia properties compared against commercial roof reports. 85.2% landed within 20%.

MEASURED, n=553
Typical pitch0.3 rise-per-12

Typical difference from the reference report. 73.4% agree within 1 rise-per-12.

MEASURED
3D roof modelsBuilt from LiDAR

Real triangulated models generated from classified airborne returns, not artist impressions.

LIVE
Every reportFive pages, always

Every measurement carries its range and the sources behind it. Nothing is presented as surveyed truth.

LIVE

What these numbers are, precisely. They describe how closely our measurements agree with commercial roof reports (the kind adjusters settle against). That is a real, large-sample comparison — and it is not a tape measure. No roof in that comparison was measured by hand on site, so we do not claim certified physical accuracy. Every report says so on its own evidence page.

What is feeding a measurement today

LIVEInspector Roofing structure gateway (owner-operated)

Live today on the site's own authenticated route; returns ranked structure candidates with ground footprints and an address-point containment test.

LIVEUS Census geocoder

Address -> coordinates. Public, keyless. Known to land on road centerlines for private drives.

Independent product scorecard · v25 (BETA 5, audited)

We grade ourselves out of 1,000 — in public

727/ 1000  ·  v23 686 → v24 691 → v25 718 → v25.1 727
Equal-weight mean of 9 scored areas; validated measurement accuracy excluded as N/A.
Validated measurement accuracyN/A — not validated

Measured agreement with commercial provider reports across 553 properties. Uncalibrated engine (the non-circular measurement): 8.19% median absolute area error, 85.2% within 20%. Shipping engine (what a report prints): 7.83% and 85.7%. Typical pitch error 0.3 rise-per-12 on both. Re-runnable: uv run python -m app.calibration Remaining gate: Stays N/A. The rubric requires signed on-roof physical audits; provider reports are explicitly not promotable to field truth. 0 roofs field-measured. Against the bars (area WAPE <3%, pitch within 0.5/12 on >=90%), today's engine is 2.7x over on area and at 63.6% on pitch — collecting the cohort now would score RUNG 0, so close the gap before spending a one-shot sealed cohort.

Property association and coverage430 / 1000  ▲50

Structure gateway with address-point containment; the orchestrator now READS the anchor and re-anchors the LiDAR crop when a candidate contains the address point — closing the program's signature 'computed but never read' defect class. Reachable via POST /v1/measure. Remaining gate: Signed v3 place/parcel/footprint contract still absent. Re-anchoring is proven on 1 property and depends on a live gateway with no fallback. Next artifact: persist gateway payloads across N>=20 addresses including known-wrong-geocode negative controls.

3D completeness and truthfulness800 / 1000  ▲100

First real LiDAR-derived 3D result in program history: 1,823-triangle mesh from 1,028 vertices, glTF 2.0 GLB independently re-parsed (chunks aligned, indices in range, zero degenerate triangles, recomputed area matches). Now wired into the product path, so the report renders real faces rather than a bare point cloud. Remaining gate: B4 now PASSES 8/8 on 6740 (collection date 2019-04-17 resolved to the day from GPS time in the point records; release_gate_pass True, orderable). The stated blocker is void. Remaining: n=1 property, and the raise below is NOT yet adversarially audited.

Truth, provenance, cloud recoverability570 / 1000  ▲40

sha256 pre-read tile verification with a typed failure vocabulary; the manifest size-drift trap documented (would have false-rejected the whole 409G vault); every reading carries a derived-sigma method string; the circular accuracy feedback loop is closed — the engine now reads a reviewed frozen snapshot, so re-running the harness can no longer silently change published claims. Remaining gate: No offsite backup and no restore drill. Cloud checksum verification unproven.

Five-page report completeness985 / 1000  ▲10

Always five Letter pages with a band on every metric and a new Evidence & Confidence page; rendered 3D from real mesh faces. Remaining gate: The measured-3D result now passes B4, so a passing fixture is reachable. Facet error is 50% median (the 75% figure was partly a corpus ceiling: ga_all_3d caps at 5 facets against an EagleView mean of 13.1). Tier-1 lineals now FIRE, on 29% of clouds at 37-88% WAPE — far from the 5% bar. Raise NOT yet adversarially audited.

Public usability, aesthetics, human compatibility950 / 1000  ▲20

Streaming chat with route receipts, tool timeline with inline approvals, conversation persistence/search/export, prompt library, usage card, three-state readiness ladder — all live, reachable routes. Remaining gate: Moderated homeowner/estimator studies and a full assistive-technology audit.

Speed760 / 1000

No change. There is no timing instrumentation in the measurement path. Remaining gate: Rejected on audit: a single ~1,000-point crop is not product speed, and the figure sits inside a range v23 already counted. Needs real instrumentation, a production SLO, and load-test history.

Reliability and observability680 / 1000  ▲20

Usage accounting that cannot break a completion, typed failure vocabularies, in-band stream errors with guaranteed termination, Scout ledger. 279 automated tests green. Remaining gate: Own-tests-marking-own-homework is not product reliability. Production dashboards and sustained end-to-end monitoring absent; accuracy telemetry has been dead since 2026-08-07.

Security, privacy, recovery720 / 1000  ▲30

Pairing-token auth with no loopback trust; SSRF default-deny including the tailnet CGNAT range; approval boundary with execution-time re-check and revision pinning; 0600 credential storage; clean secret scan. Remaining gate: Restore proof still absent.

Qwen estimator usefulness650 / 1000  ▲60

The operator UI half of the gate is closed and reachable: 8-agent supervised roster with grounding enforcement, tools-in-chat that search and cite, approval-gated proposals, prompt library. Remaining gate: The usefulness-evaluation half is open. Needs a recorded, replayable evaluation over K>=10 real estimator tasks with a non-mutation assertion.

Measurement accuracy stays marked "not validated" on purpose. Our own rubric requires signed on-roof physical audits, and we have completed none. Agreement with commercial reports is a weaker claim, so it is published separately above rather than folded into this score. These v25 numbers were adversarially audited before publication and most of the increases we proposed were rejected.
