FAQ

Questions teams ask first.

Straight answers, including the ones about what is not built yet.
Does the AI approve payments?

No, and it cannot. The analysis only reports what it sees. The verdict comes from deterministic rules, the decision comes from a named person with the right role, and the recommended amount is arithmetic on the verified progress. A manager approves it, and SiteProof never moves money.

Is the AI real today?

SiteProof AI is a pilot-stage product. Capture, evidence integrity, the verification rules, review, payment recommendation, evidence packs and the audit trail are built and tested. The analysis step reads evidence through a strict, pluggable interface; the current build ships a simulated analysis provider for demonstrations, and a vision model is connected behind the same interface without changing the rules or the human decisions.

How is the payment recommendation calculated?

Claim amount × verified progress ÷ claimed progress, using exact integer arithmetic in kobo, rounded once at the end and never above the claim. Example: ₦18,500,000 claimed at 90%, verified at 69%, gives ₦14,183,333.33.

Can a contractor game it?

No system removes fraud risk, but this one makes it harder and leaves a record. Photos are fingerprinted and compared across claims, capture location and time come from the file rather than the device, quality is measured, and anything that does not hold up is flagged for a person to judge.

Who can see what?

Access is by role and by project. Site engineers, quantity surveyors and reviewers see the projects they are assigned to; owners and finance see all projects. Payment figures are limited to the roles that need them. The database enforces tenant separation itself.

What happens if the analysis fails or is unavailable?

The claim goes to a human with the affected checks shown as unverified. A claim can never be marked verified without an analysis, and a failed analysis can be retried from the claim.

Does it work offline?

Not yet. The field app needs a connection while uploading evidence. Offline capture is planned.

What currencies and units does it support?

Nigerian naira today. Amounts are stored as exact integers in kobo. Quantities carry their own units, such as square metres.

Can I export the evidence?

Yes. Each claim can be frozen into an evidence pack that you can print or save as PDF, or share through a read-only link that expires and can be revoked.

Where is the data kept?

In a managed PostgreSQL database with private file storage. If you have data-residency requirements, tell us when you get in touch.

What does it cost?

We are working with a small number of design partners and agree pricing per engagement. Get in touch and we will scope a pilot on one live project.

Can I try it first?

Yes. Create a workspace, and as the owner load the Nova Heights demo from the overview page to walk a full claim from evidence to payment recommendation.

Something missing? Try the live demo or look at a finished evidence pack.

Stop paying on trust.

Set up a workspace, add a project and load the Nova Heights demo to walk the whole flow in minutes, or try the live demo first.
