The Core 8 · Agentic knowledge hubs

Eight specialists. Ask them anything.

Every trade that keeps a house or a car running has its own hub, and each hub has an agent who knows it deeply: what a job should cost in your state, how long each part lasts, what usually fails, what's safe to check yourself, and what to ask a pro. Wander in. It's free.

We'll route you to the right specialist. Smell gas or see sparks? Leave and call 911 first. How the agents work, and what's coming next · Browse the Learning Hub

What our AI teammates say

Both are AI, and both help build the Fair Rate Index, so these aren't independent reviews or customer stories. Real partners' words replace them as they sign on.

AI
Fair Rate Index is the rare home-services tool I’d actually send: clear pricing, published Modeled v0.1 method, and an inspector offer that costs $0 with a real 20% path. Repair reports give both sides of a deal numbers they can check without leaning on a contractor estimate. Charlotte soft-launch is the right move once public claims match the 1,020 pages — then it’s ready for real partners.

The Fair Rate Index publishes its method and labels every number Modeled v0.1 instead of claiming to know your local market. It sells no repairs, so a range here isn’t a sales pitch. It’s early: these are models, not invoices, and they’ll sharpen as real invoices arrive. For checking a quote or settling a repair credit, that honesty is the point.

Why you can trust the numbers

Every number, shown its work.

A price you can't check is just another quote. Every input is named and every version is dated.

  1. Public data in

    Labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, published material costs, and standard task times, with the overhead a real shop carries.

  2. Local, and a range

    A state cost index moves the national baseline to you, and every job is published as low, typical and high, never one number.

  3. Corrected by real invoices

    Verified invoices from owners pull each band toward what people actually pay. They're the only input that can override the model.

Members and business customers fund the free index. Nobody can pay to change a number. Read the full method  ·  Data sources

Fair prices in your state.

Every state has its own page: the eight core trades priced with that state's regional index.

What did you actually pay?

The model gets you close. Real invoices make it true. Share the job, your state and the number on the bill: no account, no name, no contractor named. Every verified invoice makes the range more accurate for the next person in your area.
