Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Jobs to Voicemail.

A soil technician drives 40 miles to a vacant lot only to discover the property boundary stakes are missing. Without verified corners, they cannot legally drill within the drain-field setback—wasting a full day of field labor and $120 in fuel.

Lab results take 7 business days. The developer calls the office 4 times daily for updates, consuming 5 hours of admin time per week answering the same question: 'Is my report back yet?'

The technician shows up with a hand auger to a site with heavy clay hardpan 18 inches down. The auger cannot penetrate it, and the job requires a track-mounted drill rig that was never loaded on the trailer.

Soil Testing — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A developer stands on a vacant half-acre lot with a signed purchase agreement that hinges on one thing: a passing perc test. If the soil fails, the $500,000 home build is dead. Perc tests run $300 to $1,200, and every day waiting for lab results pushes the closing date further into jeopardy.

How Cade wins the job

A developer needs a 4-bedroom septic perc test to close on a lot purchase. They call at 9:40 PM on a Tuesday. The AI agent pulls the county parcel number from the caller's address, queries the GIS database to verify the half-acre boundaries and zoning classification, and confirms the test location falls within the legal drain-field setback. It books the soil scientist for Wednesday at 8:00 AM and fires a webhook to the lab's intake queue, pre-registering the sample. The developer receives a text with a live countdown tracker synced to the lab's processing status.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system prevent wasted trips to inaccessible lots?

The AI agent cross-references the caller's parcel ID against county GIS boundary data during the intake call. If the parcel shows no recorded survey pins or an active access easement dispute, the system flags the job, notifies the technician, and texts the caller a checklist of items to resolve before the appointment is confirmed.
