About us

Built for the work behind every ADAS decision.

CALIBR is an independent technical review practice for insurers. We examine the evidence behind calibration, diagnostic and repair operations and return clear, cited findings, while keeping your adjusters in control of every claim decision.

Founder background

10+ years hands-on in automotive, including extensive ADAS experience across calibrations, programming, relearns, and remote diagnostics. CALIBR was built from firsthand experience performing these operations understanding what triggers them, what OEM procedures actually require, and what legitimate supporting documentation looks like. The review goes beyond identifying a possible requirement to examine whether the operation is supported by the vehicle, repair event, OEM requirements, and evidence in the file.

Independence

No repair contracts, network agreements or volume arrangements with shops, tooling vendors or calibration providers. A conflict declaration is filed per assignment. The only thing we sell is the finding.

Why now

ADAS has outpaced
the claims workflow.

01

Unverifiable line items

Calibration operations are billed in language that reads the same whether the procedure was performed to specification or not performed at all.

02

Evidence buried in the file

The proof sits in scan sessions, target setup records and photo metadata, formats a claims desk was never resourced to interrogate.

03

Exposure that outlives the claim

A vehicle can clear codes and still misread the road. An uncalibrated system returned to service is a liability the settlement does not close.

The review

What a reviewer
actually examines.

Five passes over the same file, each answering a question the invoice narrative cannot.

Was the calibration required?

Damage and repair operations are mapped against the manufacturer's trigger conditions to separate mandated calibrations from precautionary ones.

  • →Trigger conditions read per platform and damage pattern
  • →Module presence verified against VIN-decoded configuration
  • →Precautionary operations identified and flagged separately
Documented finding type

CALIBR has documented calibration charges for modules not present in the vehicle's factory configuration. The estimate shows a module; the VIN does not. This is approvable at the desk, and not detectable without a technical review.

Was the procedure executed?

Submitted documentation is reviewed against what a completed, compliant calibration procedure actually produces, not against what the invoice claims it produced.

  • →Scan session pre- and post-calibration data reviewed
  • →Target setup and positioning records checked against OEM requirements
  • →Photo metadata timestamps cross-referenced with repair timeline
Documentation gap

A single OEM screenshot showing that a calibration procedure exists does not establish that it was performed. CALIBR reviews what the submission actually contains against what a complete, compliant record looks like.

Does it meet OEM specification?

The procedure as documented is compared to current OEM requirements for the specific platform, not to generic industry practice or a third-party database.

  • →OEM procedure cited with publication name, section, and revision date
  • →Environmental and setup requirements verified per platform
  • →Static vs. dynamic procedure requirements distinguished
Why the source matters

OEM calibration requirements vary by platform, model year, and sensor type. A procedure compliant on one platform may be non-compliant on another. CALIBR cites the actual OEM source, not a database interpretation of it.

Is the charge duplicated?

The estimate is reviewed for operations billed multiple times, included operations billed separately, and charges that overlap within the same repair event.

  • →Operations cross-checked for billing overlap within the estimate
  • →Included operations billed as separate line items identified
  • →Multi-sensor calibrations disaggregated and verified per module
Billing pattern

Multi-sensor vehicles create billing opportunities a desk reviewer is not equipped to catch. A single calibration event involving three sensors can appear as three separate line items, each individually defensible and collectively duplicative.

Is there residual exposure?

The completed file is assessed for indicators that a system returned to service may not be operating to specification, regardless of what the invoice states.

  • →Post-repair scan data reviewed for persistent faults or calibration flags
  • →Conditional pass or incomplete calibration results identified
  • →Technical findings documented for the carrier's permanent claim record
File Integrity

A settled claim does not close exposure if an ADAS safety system remains unverified. A credentialed technical determination establishes documented clarity for the carrier's permanent file.

The deliverable

The technical basis your
adjusters have been missing.

A · Line-level determination

Position statement, per billed operation

Verified, exception, or no evidence, against each billed operation, with the basis for the determination stated explicitly.

B · Cited OEM basis

Procedure reference and revision date for every call

Every technical determination references the OEM source: publication name, section, revision date. The finding can be checked, challenged, and defended.

C · Quantified adjustment

Labor, sublet and materials impact separated and totalled

Where charges are unsupported or unverifiable, the financial impact is calculated by line, so an adjuster acts on a number, not a judgment call.

D · Reviewer attestation

Named, credentialed and signed, with independence declared

Every report carries the reviewer's name, credentials, and a signed declaration of independence. The finding has an author who can stand behind it.

Delivery

A review process built
around your operation.

We fit the way your claims team already works rather than asking it to adopt a new one.

Step 01

Intake mapping

We map how ADAS files reach your desk, which documents travel with them, and where the review sits in your existing workflow, before the first file is submitted.

Step 02

Configuration

Findings are written to your thresholds, terminology and referral rules, so a report lands in a form your adjusters can use as-is, with no translation required.

Step 03

Iteration

Structured feedback on live files refines what gets flagged, what gets escalated, and what your team no longer needs to see.

Turnaround Same day

Files by 2PM EST. After 2PM, next morning.

Assurance & independence

A review is only worth
what its independence is worth.

Credentialed review

Collision and diagnostic specialists with hands-on platform experience read the file. Not a database match. Not an algorithm. A reviewer who has performed these operations knows what a compliant procedure actually looks like.

Human review on every file

Named reviewer signature. Cited OEM basis. Peer-reviewed exceptions. Every determination has an author and a documented basis, not a confidence score.

Conflict declaration per assignment

No repair contracts, network agreements or volume arrangements with shops, tooling vendors or calibration providers. A conflict declaration is filed per assignment. The only thing we sell is the finding.

Secure handling

Controlled access, retention on your schedule, no repair-side disclosure. Claim data never resold. Findings remain the carrier's operational record.

FAQ

Questions claims teams
ask about CALIBR.

CALIBR is an independent ADAS technical review service for insurers and claims organizations. We examine vehicle configuration, OEM requirements, repair documentation, and submitted evidence to produce written, cited technical findings.

No. CALIBR supplies the technical findings and their basis.

Yes. CALIBR is designed to fit into existing claims workflows without requiring a platform change. During pilot engagements, files can be submitted through our secure intake process. Integration options can be evaluated as volume and workflow requirements develop.

Every finding is tied to the evidence reviewed and supported by applicable OEM documentation where available. The report clearly distinguishes verified facts, missing evidence, and the technical basis for the reviewer’s conclusion.

Claim information is used only for the purpose of performing the requested review and is not sold or used for repair-side marketing. Access is limited to authorized CALIBR personnel involved in the review.

ADAS identification tools can help surface potential calibration requirements. CALIBR evaluates the complete claim record, including vehicle configuration, repair operations, OEM requirements, and submitted evidence, to determine whether the technical basis for a billed operation is supported on the specific file.

A 10-file pilot, invoiced at completion, no upfront payment, no minimum beyond files actually submitted, no long-term commitment. Pricing is discussed on a short call before the pilot starts.
