Why “Sextant”?

A sextant is the navigator’s instrument for fixing a ship’s true position — sight the horizon, measure the angle, do the math. No guesswork, no drift, no arguing with the result. Azimuth Sextant does the same for a claim: it measures every estimate against the documented scope, the code, and the carrier’s own numbers — and fixes the claim’s true position.

What it does

Turns the Azimuth Sextant intake template (v5) into the full reconciliation workbook: every estimate version in play — from a $0 verbal denial through each carrier revision, both Azimuth positions (full scope and pared), and contractor bids — compared category by category with live gap and carrier-movement formulas, a concession ledger tying every carrier move to the documentation that produced it, the general-conditions argument sheet, code upgrades / O&L with jurisdiction-verified permit math, squares & elevations reconciliation, remaining gaps against the documented cost basis, PA under-carry review, the settlement summary, and the negotiation timeline as a communications evidence engine.

22 automatic audit rules run on every claim — roofing provision vs. demo labor pricing (the workers’-comp check), general conditions and O&P, scaffolding, valuation-based permit fees, hazmat, steep/high charges, price-list staleness (both directions), labor depreciation, matching, open bid items, roof-squares and elevation coverage, system-matched accessories, open-frame labor yield, fall protection / netting on occupied buildings, code-increment discipline, debris-volume sanity, and the O&P premium-consideration framing.

How to run it

1
Copy the intake template (Azimuth Sextant — Estimate Comparison Template v5, in Drive) into the claim’s folder and fill the sections that apply — or just gather the estimate PDFs and log the versions on the backend’s Estimates tab.
2
Open Claude and say: “Run the Sextant on [insured name]” — Claude reads the template, the Estimate Index, and the estimate files in Drive.
3
Three workbook versions save back to the claim’s folder — protected master, full internal copy, and the share copy (argument columns physically removed) with its PDF export — formulas live, audit flags scored, ready for the carrier package.
