Room twin: photograph a room, get a record
Documenting a home sounds like data entry, which is why most homes never get documented. The room twin removes the typing: photograph a room, and Proven identifies what's in it.
How it works
Stand in the doorway, take a few photos with your phone, and the wizard does the rest. Proven's vision pipeline identifies the trackable items in the frame — the range, the dishwasher, the water heater in the garage corner, the ceiling fan, the AC register that hints at the duct layout — and proposes them as systems for the home's record. You confirm, correct, or dismiss each one. Nothing enters the record without your review.
Where a nameplate is visible, a close-up photo gets you the rest: brand, model, serial, and manufacture date are read directly off the plate. That manufacture date matters more than it looks — it's the anchor for the age-based life estimates that tell you how much service life each unit realistically has left.
A twin, not a snapshot
Each photographed room becomes part of the home's twin: a structured model of the home, room by room, with every tracked item placed where it actually lives. The twin is what makes the rest of the record navigable — documents file against items, service visits attach to equipment, and when something needs attention, you know exactly which room and which unit.
Re-photographing a room later updates the twin instead of duplicating it. Renovated the kitchen? The new range replaces the old one in the record, and the old one's history stays archived with the home — which is exactly what a buyer wants to see: not a home frozen in time, but one whose changes were tracked.
The honest limits
The camera can't see inside walls, and Proven doesn't pretend it can. Vision identification proposes; the owner confirms. Items the pipeline can't identify confidently are flagged as uncertain rather than silently guessed. The goal isn't an AI parlor trick — it's getting a real, owner-confirmed inventory built in minutes instead of an afternoon of form-filling.
A home's record starts with knowing what the home contains. The room twin makes that step almost free.
