Not a court opinion
An Orakta report is screening evidence prepared for a qualified expert. It is not a court opinion, an expert opinion (chavat da’at) or testimony, and Orakta does not appear as a witness. Orakta provides evidence reports, provenance logs and method documentation. Signed expert opinions and testimony only by licensed partner experts.
Not a valuation or an inspection
A report does not assess damage room by room, estimate the amount of a loss, establish cause or liability, or confirm that a building is safe. It does not replace an inspection by an appraiser, engineer or adjuster.
Limits of the data
Satellite radar pixels are about 10 × 10 metres and can cover several buildings. Construction, demolition, vegetation and flooding can look like damage, and light damage is usually invisible from orbit. Sharp imagery exists only for some places and dates. Every report states its own limits; see Method and honest limits.
Free imagery checks
A free imagery check is a short, informal answer about which satellite imagery exists for a place and date. It has no evidence bundle and must not be filed as evidence.
Shelter Access
Shelter Access results are planning estimates for the commissioning authority. They do not replace Home Front Command instructions or an engineer’s design and signature.
