How the grade is weighted
Coverage, estimates and evidence carry the most weight because they decide whether appraisal is the right tool and how well your figure will hold up. Paperwork items matter too, but they’re quicker to fix.
What your grade means
- A or B: the file is in good shape. A professional look at the dollar gap is the logical next step.
- C: close the open items first; each one strengthens your position.
- D or F: demanding appraisal now could lock in a low number. Build the file, then decide.
Pair the result with the claim gap & fee estimator to see whether the money justifies the process.
