A vetted list of subcontractors, every month
Contractors vetted from their ratings, likely to finish on time, every month.
What it does
Every month: roofing, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical contractors in your city, rated by xMap AI from their ratings and number of reviews, Jev's chance each finishes on time, the likely ones saved and emailed.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Houston, find roofing contractors, air conditioning contractors and 2 more in the area, score and rank them with xMap AI, decide with Jev, keep those where on_time ≥ 60, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Picking a subcontractor from a search is a gamble. A high rating from many customers over years is the best sign; this flow keeps the vetted list fresh.

The time it saves
