Pre-assessment
Remote pre-assessment: frames, declaration and a result with a stated ceiling.
What happens first
A pre-assessment is a remote first look taken without ever receiving the object. You take the photographs first and the email comes after; at the end there is a result with a stated ceiling.
- 01You start with guided capture: eight required frames and two optional ones. The frames stay on your device; nothing is sent to us at this step.
- 02Once the required frames are complete, you ask for a sign-in link with your email address; an account is needed so the result can be tied to you.
- 03When you sign in, your request is opened, your frames are uploaded and each one goes through a quality pre-check.
- 04You declare your home measurements and the trade term. These are claims, not observations, and are used only in the consistency checks.
- 05A preliminary finding comes out: material candidates, period band, red flags and the tests needed to settle it. If you wish, you continue to a record application; the fee you paid is credited against it.

Slots come from the capture protocol; the server decides the order and what is required.
If you upload a screenshot or a broadcast frame it is not rejected, but the result is capped at “further examination required”: in a twice-compressed image, colour and surface texture belong to the screen rather than to the artefact.
