Only have a paper copy?
A clear photo or screenshot works — flat, well lit, the whole page in frame. Handwritten estimates are fine too.

How we handle your files
Private by default.
Quotes contain names, addresses and prices. Here’s exactly what happens to yours.
- Checked before it’s openedWe identify files by their contents, not their name, and accept only PDFs and images. PDFs with scripts, attachments or launch actions are refused.
- Deleted within 24 hoursThe original file is deleted within 24 hours. An anonymous report is kept for 30 days so you can come back to it, unless you save it to an account.
- Photo location data removedPhotos are re-encoded, which strips GPS location and device details before analysis.
- What the AI seesThe quote’s text (or the page image for scans) goes to our AI provider (Anthropic, or Google as a backup) for analysis — never your file name, IP address or account details.
- Your report is yoursReports use unguessable links, visible only on your device or account. Share links are opt-in, expire after 30 days, and can be revoked.
ScopeGrade’s analysis is informational. It isn’t legal, financial or engineering advice, and a high score doesn’t mean a contractor is a good fit — it means the quote is complete and clear.
