Compares two collision-repair estimates (shop/preliminary vs. insurer supplement/SOR) and produces one annotated PDF of the lower-cost estimate that bridges the two appraisals. Cost pass strikes under-valued prices, labor hours, and rates and stamps the higher estimate's value (red/yellow), underlines matches, and notes missing items. OEM pass flags aftermarket/used parts, skipped scans/calibrations, one-time-use reuse, and warranty/safety language that contradict OEM position statements (blue/cyan), citing the statement and jurisdictional law. Use whenever the user wants to compare, reconcile, or annotate two estimates, build a delta / cost-gap or OEM citation density report, mark up an SOR or supplement, check OEM position statements, or justify a supplement. Triggers: delta, differences, cost gap, supplement review, reconcile estimates, annotate estimate, OEM position statement, aftermarket vs OEM, ADAS calibration, jurisdictional law, bridge the appraisal gap.
Use this when uploaded estimates contain document links, especially Egnyte links, that may point to OEM procedures, position statements, ADAS reports, paint/refinish documents, or other repair-support materials relevant to the review.
Use this when estimate reviews, comparison reports, rebuttal drafts, or export summaries start sounding one-sided, verdict-first, repetitive, or too eager to say the shop is stronger. Keep the review evidence-led, open-minded, and trustworthy to all sides.
Use this when formal estimate-review exports, rebuttal emails, or PDF/report builders feel repetitive, cookie-cutter, verdict-first, or too templated. Do not use for retrieval, route handlers, or chat-only tone changes.
Use this when a review involves refinish operations, paint procedures/costs, or Pennsylvania appraisal-rights issues. Check supporting paint-folder and PA-law materials only when relevant.
Use this when reviewing photos against an estimate, supplement, side-by-side report, rebuttal draft, or export summary. Determine whether visible damage aligns with the documented estimate scope. Treat damage outside the documented area of loss as unrelated prior damage (UPD) unless the file clearly ties it to the current loss.
