Pay application certified at face value (with visual confirmation), adjusted downward with evidenced justification, or returned for revision.
Workflow steps
- Step 01
Subcontractor submits monthly pay application/interim progress claim.
Inferred - Step 02
QS/PM reviews claim and identifies inconsistencies with site observations.
Inferred - Step 03

Evidenced - Step 04
Live or recorded footage reviewed across relevant camera angles.
Evidenced - Step 05
Snapshots taken from the evidence system platform to capture work condition at claim date.
Evidenced - Step 06
Where cloud resolution insufficient, higher-resolution local recording exported or 360° reviewed.
Inferred - Step 07
Visual evidence compared against claimed percentages.
Inferred - Step 08
QS prepares revised assessment/certification recommendation.
Evidenced - Step 09
Adjusted certification communicated to subcontractor with footage references available.
Inferred - Step 10
Certified amount approved for payment or disputed with footage record available.

dispute claims
Evercam provides visual evidence that resolves or prevents disputes with subcontractors, suppliers, and clients. Saving from faster resolution, avoided escalation, and prevented overcharges.
saving = (disputes_avoided_pct × disputes_per_year × avg_resolution_cost) + (overcharges_prevented_per_year × avg_overcharge_value)
