THE
PROBLEM

DATA WITHOUT INTERPRETATION

CARFAX and GoodCar dump raw history. They tell you what happened — not what it means for your margins.

BILLION-DOLLAR BLIND SPOT

Dealers and flippers make high-stakes buy/pass decisions from walls of unstructured data. Every bad call costs thousands.

THE LAYER NOBODY BUILT

The interpretation layer — the verdict — does not exist in the market today. CarFlip builds it.

04 / Process

HOW IT
WORKS

Three steps from raw PDF to actionable verdict. No manual input. No ambiguity.

01
INGEST

Upload any vehicle history PDF — CARFAX, GoodCar, or any provider. No manual formatting. Any format, any layout.

02
EXTRACT

Provider-agnostic AI pipeline structures raw data into clean, normalized vehicle history. Pattern recognition across every field.

03
VERDICT

Buy / Pass / Negotiate signal + reconditioning cost estimate + hidden risk flags. Delivered instantly.

— From PDF to decision in seconds. —
