FastEstimate ROI — One-Page Calculator

Adjust three inputs to match your book. Every number sourced and editable.

Your Inputs

$1,000,000
Total $ you currently spend with Seek Now per year. Pick a tier or drag to your exact number.
$220
What your book pays per inspection. Varies by carrier based on contract mix, regions, and volume tiers. Edit to match your rate.
$17,260
Default $17,260 = Verisk Q3 2025 low end of current range. Edit if your book skews higher/lower.
50%
% of Seek Now inspections that route through FastEstimate. Expand as comfort grows.

Changing severity flexes ROI; volume, price, and attach rate don't (they scale both cost and benefit equally). Even at the conservative $12K floor, ROI stays above 5x.
Where the savings come from
1. Leakage reduction
The #1 driver. A more accurate first estimate means you pay closer to what the loss actually is — before an inflated contractor estimate arrives and anchors the negotiation. Modeled at 2% of claim severity, deliberately conservative (EY benchmarks total industry claims leakage at 7–14% of spend; McKinsey cites 3–5 ppt indemnity reduction from AI-driven claims tools).
$784,545
2. Desk adjuster time reclaimed
Manual Xactimate authoring drops from ~30 min to ~3 min (60-sec generation + 2 min adjuster review). Dollar figure uses BLS-benchmarked $49/hr fully-loaded cost — but the bigger story is 1,022 hours of desk adjuster capacity unlocked (= 0.49 FTE), freeing your best adjusters for complex claims and absorbing cat volume without hiring.
$55,690
3. Supplemental handling reduction
An accurate first estimate means fewer supplementals to review, dispute, and negotiate downstream. Each supplemental consumes ~1.5 hours of adjuster time. Modeled at 20% reduction in supplemental volume — carrier-editable in the full Excel model since no public dataset benchmarks supplemental rates.

Your current scenario is highlighted. All rows use the attach rate, severity, and time assumptions you've set above.
Show / edit time & labor assumptions
Industry range 20–30 min for wind/hail estimate authoring. Default 30 min reflects full authoring + review, not just drafting. Edit to match your team.
Seek Now quotes "60 Second Estimates" for generation. Default 3 min = 1 min generation + 2 min adjuster review.
Default $49 = BLS mean $78,220 × BLS ECEC 1.31 benefits multiplier ÷ 2,080 hrs. Bump higher for coastal/specialty markets.

Measure it on your own book

Run FastEstimate in parallel with your current workflow on a slice of your wind/hail claims. Seek Now measures cycle-time, estimate accuracy, and downstream leakage side-by-side and shares the results. We'll size the sample to your book — enough volume to be statistically meaningful, small enough to stand up quickly. Talk to your Strategic Account Director to scope it.

Every number in this calculator is publicly sourced

Defaults are anchored to 11+ authoritative datasets — including BLS OEWS (adjuster wages), BLS ECEC (benefits load), Verisk Q3 2025 Quarterly Property Report (W/H severity), J.D. Power 2025 Property Claims Satisfaction Study (44-day cycle baseline), EY P&C Claims (leakage: 7–14% of spend — we model 2%), McKinsey (3–5 ppt indemnity reduction), Triple-I (hail = 80% of SCS claims), state DOI prompt-pay statutes (TX 18%/yr, LA 50%, FL 60-day, CA 40-day, CO 2x, GA 50%).

Stats labeled "Seek Now internal" (manual estimate time, supplemental rate, adjuster time per supplemental, cycle days saved, attach rate default) are carrier-editable and flagged in the full Excel model. Full methodology & sources tab in the downloadable workbook.
