Wave Intelligence
Wave's estimating intelligence: the part of the product that understands the context of a job, such as residential or commercial and the type of loss, and shapes the estimate the way an experienced estimator would.

Wave Intelligence is the estimating intelligence at the core of Wave. It goes beyond a chat-to-form-filler that turns "I tore out drywall" into a drywall line. It builds the estimate an experienced estimator would put together for this specific loss.
What Wave Intelligence does in practice
- Understands building type: residential and commercial losses are scoped differently.
- Adjusts to the type of loss: water losses by category, mold, fire and contents are each scoped for the work they involve.
- Looks at the whole job: adding a room can change the lines in other rooms, because Wave considers the job as a whole.
- Shows the work the scope calls for: Wave adds the work your scope calls for and states what it added.
