Service delivery

Last updated 2026-10-02

GroundClaim is a digital service. Nothing physical is ever shipped; this page describes how results are delivered instead.

1. Nature of the service

GroundClaim checks a subcontractor/GC's claimed percent-complete on a pay application against field progress reports before the controller signs. There are no physical goods, packaging or postage involved at any point.

2. What you receive, and how

Results are delivered two ways, both digital:

• Dashboard: signed-in results appear in your account as soon as they're ready, with a download link for each output.
• API: if you use the API, a GC's accounting tool submits a pay application and field notes and polls for the reviewed exceptions memo.

A result is delivered only after the second-model review has run. If it could not run, nothing is delivered and the credits are returned to your balance.

Outputs produced: Exceptions report ranked by dollar exposure, with claimed % vs field-evidence-supported % range; Clean-line confirmations shown so the accountant sees the whole pay app was checked; One-line recommendation per pay application (a suggestion, never an automatic action).

3. Turnaround time

Results are produced automatically; turnaround depends on document size and model availability. There is no fixed delivery window, but every job's status and stage are visible in your dashboard, and we notify you as this product describes: Job finished email when the exceptions memo is ready.

4. Access to results

Results stay available for download for as long as we retain the underlying job's files — see retention in our privacy policy. Each dashboard row shows exactly how long its files will be kept.

5. API access

Programmatic access uses an API key you generate in the dashboard. There is no separate "shipping" step for API results: the same job record and download URLs are available through GET requests once the job finishes.

6. Account and access

You need a GroundClaim account (email + password, or a supported social sign-in) to submit work and receive results. No shipping address is collected or required.
