HVAC, 12 yrs old, condition Good. Repair $2,400, replace $8,500. Verdict: Replace. Agree?
Looked at the numbers — remaining life is the deciding factor.
Agree (87% confidence). One flag: condition "Good" on a 12-yr unit usually means R-22 refrigerant. If yours is R-22, replace cost climbs $1,500–$2,000. Worth confirming.
Ask a follow-up…

Four kinds of response. One per opinion.

The AI inspector always lands on one of four buckets — never wishy-washy, always actionable.

Agree

Confidence rating + a one-line reason. You can move forward.

~ 60% of cases
Disagree

Calls out which factor the math overweighted and proposes the opposite verdict.

~ 12% of cases
Clarify

Asks one specific question that would change the verdict (e.g. "What refrigerant?").

~ 18% of cases
Risk-flag

Surfaces a hidden cost or compliance issue the math couldn't see (R-22, asbestos, etc.).

~ 10% of cases

The whole loop, one slide.

Your numbers in. The verdict the math gave. The opinion the AI gave back.

What you send
  • component: HVAC condenser
  • install_year: 2014
  • condition: Good (3/5)
  • repair_cost: $2,400
  • replace_cost: $8,500
  • verdict: Replace
What comes back
AGREE (87% confidence).
Remaining life is the deciding factor — at 7.6 years effective, repair pays back inside the next 3 years but loses on the 7-year horizon.
Risk flag: 12-yr units of this generation often run R-22. Confirm refrigerant before pricing — replace cost may climb $1,500–$2,000.

Every opinion has a confidence rating.

Lower confidence is a flag to slow down — not a flag to ignore the AI.

Lots of context, clean numbers 92% confidence
Standard component, known condition 78% confidence
Custom component, partial data 54% confidence
Edge case, unusual install year 32% confidence
