The short version
- You hand the agent the measurement report. It doesn't appear on its own.
- The estimate comes back priced, with the math on every line.
- A Kestrel credit is a dollar. Unused credits roll over.
- Credits pay for measurements. Fuel pays for thinking. Separate bills.
Someone hands it over
Measurements don't appear on their own. Somebody in your office still gets the report into the file, the same way you'd hand it to a new estimator. That's on purpose. It's also the moment a bad square count gets caught, because a person looked at the report before anything got priced from it.
What comes back
The agent prices the roof from that measurement using your pricing, and the estimate shows the math. Squares, waste, the line items, and where each number came from. If a number looks wrong, you can see why it's wrong instead of guessing which cell to fix.
How it's billed
Measurements are billed in Kestrel credits, and a credit is a dollar. Fifteen credits is fifteen dollars. What you don't use rolls over, with no cap. That's a separate bill from the thinking the agents use. Fuel and Your AI Plan pay for thinking. Kestrel credits pay for measurements. We keep them apart so the measurement bill never surprises you inside a Fuel number.
What we don't claim
We don't own a measurement service and we don't pretend to. You hand the agent the report from whoever you already use. The agent prices it.
Questions
