Video in, valuation out.

That's what we built for Chattel Valuations Canterbury.

Before

They came to us with a ChatGPT-assisted spreadsheet.

The expert valuer walked the room with a camera, typed line items into the spreadsheet afterwards, and mapped each one into the depreciation categories the report is built on. ChatGPT helped draft the prose around it. What it couldn't do was produce the report — the exact, signed-off shape the valuer's profession requires, the same shape every time, with numbers that reconcile.

What we built

Software that takes the walkthrough video, identifies each item, estimates the numbers the valuer would reach for, runs the depreciation the report is built on, and rolls out the document the valuer signs. The valuer still signs. The work the software does is the work the valuer used to do line by line.

The engine keeps evolving as the work does — new categories, new edge cases, new outputs, without the workflow breaking.

Six months later, they were running the same engine for research workflows we never scoped. That's the tell.

The argument

This is what the partnership looks like in practice. Not a special case, not a single project with a start and an end — the engagement shape we bring to every business whose bottleneck keeps moving.
