I will start with this that your estimate is written with Xactimate and this software is owned by VERISK ANALYTICS which is a bias company that is pro INSURER and VERISK Analytics is a company that is primarily owned by insurance companies. The software is underpricing all insureds claims and not accurate vs actual cost which is creating differences in our water mitigation estimate and what we also see on rebuild for COV A estimates. Xactimate is a program created by Xactware and it used by insurance companies to estimate property damage claims that many believe are biased against the insureds in favor of the insurance company. Today 22 of the top 25 property insurance companies in the U.S. use Xactware property insurance claims tools. Xactware is a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics which was formed to be the parent company of Insurance Services Office or "ISO". Verisk is essentially owned by the insurance industry even though it is technically "publicly" owned. ISO and Verisk's connection to Xactware is important because its software, Xactimate, is used by a majority of the insurance companies in handling insured's claims. It is problematic that a company like Xactware, who has substantial ties to the insurance industry, is being used to provide an "unbiased" estimate of insureds property damage. In fact, Xactware was at the center of a dispute in Schafer v. State Farm & Fire Casualty Co., Docket No. 06-8262, 2008 U.S. Dist. (E.D. La. June 11, 2008), where the insureds alleged that State Farm insurance company colluded with Xactware to manipulate prices on construction material in order to keep replacement cost low. The court ultimately dismissed the price-fixing claim but allowed the insureds to move forward with an intentional misrepresentation claim against both State Farm and Xactware. The case was eventually settled in 2010 before the intentional misrepresentation claim was ruled on. But this is the reason for the largest difference in our scope and price vs an Xactimate written estimate.
